Every employer must take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace in order to provide a conducive working environment for its employees and at the same time to avoid liability. In this 1-day program, we aim to share how employers can actively implement precautionary measures to eliminate and/or minimise the risk of sexual harassment occurring and to respond appropriately when harassment does occur.
