The Worker Protection Act 2023
Manage episode 447792660 series 2319780
The Worker Protection Act 2023 comes into force on 26 October 2024, imposing a new, proactive duty on all employers across the UK to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace.
With at least 1 in 5 men and nearly half of all women experiencing sexual harassment at work, this new compliance duty is an important step employers must prepare for. The new “preventative duty” shifts beyond reacting to complaints and requires employers to take steps to prevent harassment from occurring in the first place.
Critically, the meaning of reasonable steps will vary from company to company, meaning employers will have to prove they have conducted a thorough risk assessment and understood what proactive steps look like in their business.
In this episode, VinciWorks compliance experts will guide you through the process of complying with the Worker Protection Act.
From assessing the risk of sexual harassment in the workplace to tracking incidents and customising training, this free, one-hour episode will make sure your office is ready to fight back against sexual harassment.
This podcast will cover:
- The Worker Protection Act 2023 and its obligations on employers
- What sexual harassment in the workplace is
- Undertaking harassment risk assessments
- Using data to identify worrying trends before they come problems
- The meaning of proactive duty and reasonable steps in your organisation
- Implementing policies and procedures to prevent harassment
Please note the podcast contains video recordings that you are about to listen to that discuss sensitive topics which some listeners may find upsetting.
