Of 300 senior UK HR professionals surveyed, 91% said they're confident their organisation could evidence taking "all reasonable steps" to prevent sexual harassment if challenged today. But when asked to demonstrate specific measures, the evidence often isn't there. Only half can show clear reporting processes are in place. Only a third have measures to prevent retaliation.
