Harassment Prevention for Managers and HR - 5mins AI

Harassment Prevention for Managers and HR

Aligning with the Worker Protection Act 2024 to create safe, respectful workplaces

Understanding Your New Legal Obligations Under the Worker Protection Act 2024

With the introduction of the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act, effective from October 2024, your responsibility in preventing harassment has expanded significantly. No longer is it enough to respond after an incident occurs; now, you must take proactive steps to prevent harassment from happening in the first place. The Act introduces a new proactive duty for employers to take all reasonable steps to prevent harassment.

This comprehensive course breaks down your new legal obligations, explains how to comply with the latest legislation, and outlines the proactive measures you can take to ensure a safe and respectful workplace. Key changes include proactive risk assessments, tailored and ongoing training that must be continually updated, and clear accessible anti-harassment policies that clearly define harassment, outline reporting procedures, and detail the steps you will take to address incidents.

Why Proactive Harassment Prevention Protects Your Organization

Failure to comply with the new requirements can lead to significant consequences. If an employer fails to take all reasonable steps to prevent harassment, tribunals now have the authority to increase compensation by up to 25%. Moreover, the Equality and Human Rights Commission can enforce these duties even if no specific incident has occurred.

The proactive nature of this law means that you must demonstrate due diligence in preventing harassment, not just in responding to it. By fostering a culture where everyone is accountable, maintaining transparency, and ensuring all employees are supported, you can create a safer and more respectful environment for everyone. This approach embeds respect, safety, and inclusion into the very fabric of your workplace culture.
