Tackling workplace sexual harassment remains a key priority for legislators and regulators globally, meaning that employers who fail to take proactive steps to address this issue may be subject to increasing legal liabilities, not to mention damaging PR in the Court of Public Opinion. Further, with various countries introducing new obligations on employers this year to prevent sexual harassment, the global spotlight on this issue seems set to continue.
Join us for the first virtual panel discussion in our 2024 Global Board Issues series, where our speakers will explore key challenges and action points for global companies, including:
Legislative and regulatory developments – recent and upcoming changes to be aware of, including compliance and areas of risk
Why sexual harassment in the workplace is a board issue, including how it plays into a company’s wider culture and its ESG and/or sustainability strategy
Investigating and resolving allegations of sexual harassment – typical challenges we have advised on and how to address them
Working with global companies – we share our experiences of what works well when implementing policies/procedures, running training programmes, creating a healthy workplace culture, etc.
The main presentation will last 50 minutes, followed by a 10-minute online question and answer session.
This session will be of particular interest to in-house lawyers, C-suite executives, senior HR professionals, and risk and compliance professionals.
