26 Oct 2024, UK mandates proactive measures against workplace sexual harassment.

This includes conducting risk assessments, implementing action plans, updating training, and fostering a zero-tolerance culture. Non-compliance may lead to increased compensation for victims. The new law aims for a cultural shift in workplaces, drawing lessons from Australia’s similar measures.
