Workplace Violence & Harassment: New Rules
A Practical Guide to Prevention, Compliance and Culture
Join us for a practical workshop exploring the new legal framework on workplace violence, harassment and bullying, alongside the existing rules on sexual harassment, discrimination and equal treatment.
These changes significantly raise the stakes for employers, introducing potential civil and criminal liability, personal exposure for directors and managers, and an expanded role for regulators. This is no longer simply an internal HR issue, but one of legal risk and personal accountability and enterprise-wide risk mitigation.
Compliance and policies alone are not enough. The workshop bridges the gap between the law on paper and real‑world best practice, connecting the human and legal dimensions.
Key Topics:
What’s new — recent legal changes and who they apply to
- Harassment, sexual harassment, and discrimination — the existing regime explained
- Health & safety — psychosocial risk and employer liability
- Data & confidentiality — complaints, investigations, managing sensitive data and whistleblower disclosures
- Putting it into practice — from policy to speak-up culture
- Human dimension — impact, support, dignity and respect of affected employees
- When things go wrong — legal remedies, penalties, burden of proof
