Starting 26 October 2024, employers must implement steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace, including from third parties, or face potential legal consequences.
Our e-learning courses provide essential training to help your organisation fulfil this new legal responsibility. By ensuring your team understands how to recognise and stop harassment, you can create a safer work environment, stay aligned with the law, and avoid the financial and reputational risks of legal claims or penalties.
When sexual harassment occurs in the workplace, the repercussions for the victim, the harasser and the company are often serious. Taking a preventative stance is the best course of action. In this course you will learn about sexual harassment, with the focus being on preventing it from occurring.
