Are you being proactive?
It is critical that employers understand that their duty under the new harassment prevention law is not a preventative one.
Employers must be proactive and not wait for an incident of sexual harassment to take place before they act. The first task for every employer is to carry out a risk assessment and review their policies.
But where to start?
This can be a tricky situation for employers and one which we fully understand, we are here to support.
Not understanding what this duty means is the first hurdle and we can help to provide advice and guidance on breaking down the duty into practical solutions for you and your business.
The team have undertaken extensive research and training on this subject area in order to provide our clients with a practical and reliable service in relation to the creation of risk assessments, training for staff, the creation and implementation of specific policies regarding the subject of sexual harassment and ways that their business whether it be big or small can actually take reasonable and achievable measures to protect their workers.
How do I get in touch? Whether you are concerned that you have not yet taken action or you have taken some action but want some advice on whether you are doing what you can to protect your workers then do not hesitate to get in touch with our HR Advisor, Emily (emily@bluestarhr.co.uk) who will be happy to help.
