As of October 26th, the Worker Protection Act is now in effect. With nearly half of businesses not fully prepared, it’s crucial for employers to stay compliant and informed about their new responsibilities under this legislation.
What is the Worker Protection Act?
Effective October 26, 2024, the act strengthens protections against workplace harassment in the UK. It amends the Equality Act 2010 to require employers to take proactive steps to prevent sexual harassment. Employers must establish clear anti-harassment policies, conduct mandatory staff and management training, and ensure safe reporting channels for employees.
