'Still work to be done' | Almost half of firms not compliant with sexual harassment duties, one year since law change

Almost one year since the Worker Protection Act came into force, legally requiring UK employers to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment at work, more than half of businesses (54%) are concerned that they haven’t done enough to comply with the legal duty. 

A WorkNest survey of more than 400 HR professionals reveals worrying gaps in compliance, despite the significant legal and reputational risks, with many businesses still in the process of fully implementing the right measures.
