Hi Phillip,

It’s been just over a year since employers were legally required to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace. Since then, we’ve seen a sharp increase in enquiries – everything from basic compliance queries to more difficult cases involving employee complaints and external parties like customers or contractors.

To support employers, our Employment Law and HR experts have compiled answers to the most frequently asked questions, including:

-	We’re a small business with 40 employees. Do the requirements to comply with the duty to prevent harassment differ for us compared to a company with 500 employees?

-	How should employers manage the risks for staff who have to stay in hotels for overnight stays? 

-	Does every workplace need a code of conduct to prevent harassment – and is this a legal requirement?

For clear, practical answers to these questions and more, download the full FAQ - https://wn.worknest.com/e/398692/-com-pdf-v-pwh-faq-micro-solus/dkgym5/1872706528/h/pqwHjoP17tVAI0O1EoGrFAzG_8rwT-v7E-scsNnO5mc below.
