Harassment and Bullying

This is an area of law where complacency can lead to unexpected problems. Building awareness within the organisation is vital.

Employees are becoming much more knowledgeable about their rights in the workplace. A growing number of people are registering grievances concerning harassment and/or bullying. Employers can be liable for the actions of their employees in the workplace, or during work related activities. You therefore need to be prepared to handle complaints in a way that complies with law and best practice.
