FREE Bite-Sized Webinar – Workers Protection Act 2024
This significant change means that employers will need to shift their approach from being reactive to being preventive, creating an environment in which sexual harassment is less likely to happen in the first place.
Employers should give urgent thought to how they prepare for this change in the law, including their approach to policies and practices, the culture of the workplace and the training of managers and staff.
