Crocs: yes or no?🐊

Forget employment law and workplace policies for a moment... we're tackling one of the really important debates.

We asked the Petaurum HR team where they stand on Crocs.

Are you Team Crocs or are they an absolute no-go?

It's now been a week since the strengthened duty to prevent sexual harassment came into effect on 30th October 2026. ⚖️

Under the new requirements, employers must take all reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment, including harassment by third parties such as customers, clients and suppliers.

But having the right policies in place isn't enough. Employers must also take practical steps to identify risks, address concerns and create a respectful workplace culture.

At Petaurum HR, our Culture Scan helps businesses understand employee experiences, uncover hidden risks and identify gaps between workplace policies and everyday practices. 🔎

It also provides practical recommendations to strengthen prevention measures and evidence the steps employers are taking to create safer, more respectful workplaces.

Yesterday's Autumn Budget brought several announcements for businesses, but what do they mean for employers? 💼

While there were no major unexpected changes, businesses still face rising employment costs, new legislation, and ongoing workforce challenges.

So, what were some of the key announcements? 👇

• Apprenticeships: An additional £100 million was announced to expand apprenticeship support across more areas of England, helping young people into employment and businesses take on apprentices.

• Minimum and living wage increases: From April 2027, the National Living Wage for workers aged 21 and over will rise to £13.20 an hour. The National Minimum Wage will also increase to £11.27 for 18–20-year-olds and £8.31 for 16–17-year-olds and apprentices.

• Artificial intelligence: Funding was announced to explore how AI could change jobs and industries, helping businesses better understand its potential impact on the workplace.

• Business costs: The Government outlined plans to reduce red tape and provide support with energy costs and business rates.

While these announcements may offer some reassurance, the challenges facing employers haven't disappeared.

Businesses will need to think carefully about how these developments could affect their workforce, costs and future plans.

At Petaurum HR, we're here to help businesses understand their responsibilities, prepare for change and make informed decisions about their people.

A sexual harassment risk assessment is one of the most important foundations of an effective prevention strategy. 🔎

A meaningful risk assessment helps you identify where risks could arise and turn them into practical actions with clear ownership.

That might mean looking at workplace events and alcohol, relationships between managers and employees, as well as interactions with customers, clients and contractors

In this clip from "Sexual Harassment in the Workplace: Your Duty to Act", we look at why understanding your risks is such an important part of prevention.
