2024 inquiry | Sexual misconduct more prominent on work trips - what should HR do?

In 2023, the government launched an inquiry into sexism and misogyny within London financial firms after a barrage of sexual assault allegations rocked the business world. The inquiry found that instead of dissipating, sexual assault in the workplace has simply changed in nature.

Reportedly, these cases have become more prominent at conferences and work trips as opposed to existing within the office – indicating that businesses still have a long way to go in dismantling misogyny.
