Preventing Sexual Harassment: essential training on the new Worker Protection Act

 

 

 

Employers need to be ready to protect employees from sexual harassment under a new statutory obligation. 

 

Starting in October 2024, the Worker Protection Act (an amendment of Equality Act 2010) will enhance protections against sexual harassment in the workplace. Employers are now required to take reasonable measures to prevent such incidents, with tribunals able to increase compensation by up to 25% for violations. 

 

So now it's time to get trained! 

 

Join our engaging half-day EMG Endorsed training session on the new sexual harassment provisions of the UK Equality Act.  

 

This course has been designed for employers, HR professionals and employees who want to create a safe and respectful workplace.
