Legal agreement | Lidl pledges new safeguards on workplace harassment after watchdog intervention

Lidl has signed a legal agreement with the UK’s equality watchdog to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace.

The agreement with the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) comes after an employment tribunal found that the budget retailer had failed to take all reasonable steps to prevent the sexual harassment of a young female employee by a staff member between 2019 and 2021.
