Sexual Harassment in the Workplace Training
Are you looking to train up your employees to understand what sexual harassment in the workplace is, in response to the legislative change brought about by the Worker Protection Act?
Our Training Academy can provide training for a whole cohort of your employees, delivered online or in-person at your workplace.
We can cover the following topics:
- What is sexual harassment in the workplace in UK law?
- What is the Worker Protection Act, and the change this brings to employer responsibilities and employee rights.
- Explore the range of behaviours that can constitute sexual harassment in the workplace, drawing on examples of UK cases that ended up at Employee Tribunal and examples relevant to your organisation.
- Explanation of why we need to challenge what people would consider the ‘smaller’, ‘less serious’ examples of workplace sexual harassment, in order to effectively prevent examples of sexual harassment which could constitute a criminal offence.
- How to speak up about sexual harassment and report it- specific to your workplace.
- The importance of being an Active Bystander when you witness behaviours which could constitute sexual harassment.
- The various ways that an employer can respond to sexual harassment- informal resolution such as signposting to support services, implementing training, facilitating line manager interventions or mediated conversations, through to formal risk assessments such as completing a risk assessment, enacting a grievance procedure and formal investigation.
- Ways that every employee can behave to foster a speak up culture at work, including what to do if somebody discloses an experience of sexual harassment to you.
