Kissing colleagues…
…might obviously be inappropriate. But have you ever experienced any of the following at work?
- female colleagues being asked how they deal with juggling work and family
- female colleagues left to do the tidying up after meetings
- calling females ‘guys’ when you’re addressing a group
Even if most employees consider these are OK, maybe there’ll be one that says they’ve been subjected to discrimination and/or harassment. And with each of the above, they have a point. Times change. Laws move on. People expect more. People know more.
Our view is that if a concern is raised, an expedient, thorough, and balanced investigation is essential. Then, where liability is established, action must be taken swiftly – both legally and culturally. Learnings must embrace change and include effective policies which are trained upon.
Discrimination in whatever form creates division, poor performance, sadness, and inequality. Clearly, recent press has highlighted that these (and more) are very real experiences within the workplace. Get in touch to talk about any employment law support you might need.
