Employment Espresso Pods: Positive Duty to Prevent Sexual Harassment (Part 1: UK / Australia)

Herbert Smith Freehills Podcasts

The Worker Protection Act 2023 will come into force on 25 October of this year, imposing a new positive duty on UK employers to take 'reasonable steps' to prevent sexual harassment of employees in the course of their employment. In the first instalment of this podcast, we will be discussing the impact of the Act within workplaces within the UK, and sharing our insights based on experience with the adoption of similar legislation in Australia.
