We're reaching out to inform you about an important change in legislation that will impact all employers. From 26 October 2024, a new law will require employers to actively take steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace.
Sexual harassment has a significant impact on employee mental health and wellbeing. Shockingly, a 2021 government consultation revealed that 54% of employees had experienced sexual harassment at work. Understandably, navigating these challenges and complying with new legal obligations is crucial to maintaining a safe and respectful working environment. That's where we at Insync Employment Law can assist.
Our team of experts is fully prepared to support your business with tailored policies and procedures that align with the upcoming legal requirements. Here's how we can help:
- Policy Development: Creating comprehensive anti-harassment policies that are clear and enforceable.
- Complaint Procedures: Establishing effective systems for reporting and dealing with complaints.
- Risk Assessments: Assisting with assessments to identify potential areas of risk and mitigate them proactively.
- Ongoing Support: Offering continuous support and advice to ensure compliance and best practices.
It's essential to act now to ensure your organisation is prepared well ahead of the changes. We invite you to get in touch with us to learn more about our services and how we can assist your business.
