According to research 40% of women experienced some form of unwanted sexual harassment in the workplace (1) and 70% of women who experienced sexual harassment did not report the harassment to their employer (2).
It seems not a week goes by without a new story in the media about a sexual harassment employment tribunal.
Employers face costly settlements, legal bills and damage to their reputation, loss of talent and recruitment challenges.
An employer that takes all reasonably practicable steps to prevent sexual harassment has an available legal defence to a sexual harassment claim.
However, a failure to take reasonable preventative steps, as required by Section 40 of the Equality Act 2010, means a tribunal has the power to increase the compensation award by 25%.
Training can help to tackle common mistakes leading to victims accusing employers of not taking the issue seriously or minimising the seriousness or that managers were inexperienced or unsupportive.
