What our workshop offers

Addresses legislative requirements

New protections from sexual harassment have come into force under the Equality Act 2010.
Businesses now have a legal duty to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment and create a safe working environment.

Provides expert advice for your organisation

This workshop, led by our specialist and expert inclusion advisers, will provide your organisation with the guidance needed to comply with these legal requirements and foster a safe and inclusive workplace.

Equips employees to recognise and prevent harassment

Employees will gain a clear understanding of what constitutes sexual harassment through use of statistics, real-life stories, and case studies. Through interactive discussions, participants are encouraged to reflect on their behaviour, challenge others, and develop strategies to prevent harassment.

Empowers employees to act should harassment occur

This session empowers participants to support employees facing harassment, ensuring everyone feels confident and prepared to respond appropriately should harassment occur in the workplace.

Gives an intersectional lens to the issue of harassment

The session takes a nuanced approach to sexual harassment, explaining how people with minoritised identity characteristics are likely to experience disproportionately high levels of harassment.

Creates a proactive and positive workplace culture

Proactively committing to a harassment-free workplace positions your organisation as a leader in a positive culture and responsible business practices. This boosts productivity, enhances recruitment and retention, and strengthens your reputation.

Our intersectional approach

Sexual harassment impacts individuals differently based on gender, disability, race, and more. These disparities highlight the importance of using an intersectional lens, which is why our Advisory Services experts integrate this perspective in both the design of our workshop and in the key lessons participants will gain. Understanding how overlapping identities shape experiences of harassment is crucial in creating effective solutions and support systems within your teams and organisations
