About this document:
Sexual harassment is a an increasing work place problem which causes distress to victims, time off work and quite frequently, resignation.
Employers are responsible for what happens in the work place, so no matter how careful you are, a Tribunal case can be lost on account of the activity of some maverick in your organisation. To reduce the possibility of claims made against you, you can remind employees of their continuing obligations by putting this policy into practise.
Make sure you incorporate this policy into your staff’s employment contracts by reference so that employees are bound by the terms of the policy. It is then important to apply the policy consistently by issuing reminders and checks where suitable.
