In the latest episode of the Whitehead Monckton Podcast: Headnotes, Veronica Fox, Senior HR Consultant at Eclipse HR joins Antonio Fletcher to discuss the changing legal landscape surrounding sexual harassment in the workplace.
With new duties already introduced and further reforms expected under the Employment Rights Act, employers face increasing obligations to take proactive steps to prevent harassment and protect their workforce.
Antonio and Veronica explore how sexual harassment can manifest in practice, the growing focus on third-party harassment by clients and customers, and the practical measures employers should be taking now, including risk assessments, staff training and creating a workplace culture where people feel confident raising concerns.
The episode also covers forthcoming whistleblowing protections for sexual harassment disclosures and proposed changes that could affect the use of confidentiality clauses in workplace harassment cases.
