HR worry | Only 50% of Brits say their employer takes bullying seriously

Only 50% of Brits say their workplace takes bullying, discrimination, or harassment complaints seriously, new data has suggested.

Specialist lawyers Bolt Burdon Kemp asked the British public how empowered they feel when it comes to seeking justice.

In a survey of 2,000 British adults carried out by the firm, it found that most people know what to do if something traumatic at work happened to them.

They were asked about situations involving medical negligence, workplace discrimination, sexual harassment and abuse, and issues with the police.
