The Worker Protection Act 2023 will come into force on 25 October of this year, imposing a new positive duty on UK employers to take 'reasonable steps' to prevent sexual harassment of employees in the course of their employment. In the first instalment of this podcast, we discussed the impact of the Act within workplaces within the UK, and shared our insights based on experience with the adoption of similar legislation in Australia. In the second, we are going to share our experience from working with employers in Asia and EMEA about similar applicable laws and duties to prevent sexual harassment.
Speakers: Fatim Jumabhoy, Partner, Singapore; Emma Rohsler, Partner and EMEA Regional Head of Employment, Pensions and Incentives, Paris
