Workplace Essentials: Preventing Sexual Harassment

Failing to Prevent Sexual Harassment Could Cost Your Business

Every employer in the UK currently has a legal duty to take proactive reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace, and that responsibility is about to get tougher. New regulations will require employers to take ALL reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment, with higher expectations covering any type of harassment by third parties and bigger risks for employers.

Why This Matters

Failing to meet this duty can be costly financially and reputationally.

Unlimited compensation for successful harassment claims.
25% uplift in tribunal awards where employers fail to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment.
Proposed ban on using NDAs and confidentiality clauses for harassment cases.
Whistleblowing protections may be extended

Case in point: In August 2024, Lidl was ordered to pay £50,000 to a harassed employee and to enter a legally binding agreement with the Equality and Human Rights Commission. The case garnered national attention, highlighting the significant financial and reputational risks associated with non-compliance.
