What counts as “all reasonable steps” to prevent harassment in the workplace?
It’s one of the questions I answer in my September HR Update, as employers prepare for strengthened duties around workplace harassment from October 2026.
A policy alone won’t be enough. Employers will need to be able to demonstrate the practical steps they’ve taken to prevent sexual harassment, while new third-party harassment duties will also need to be considered.
The newsletter also covers:
☑️ New Right to Work requirements from 1st October
☑️ A £30k tribunal lesson around visa sponsorship
☑️ Why more than half of UK businesses say hiring has become harder
☑️ Proposed changes to zero-hours contracts
☑️ The risks surrounding employee use of AI
☑️ Employer FAQs covering changes to working hours and employee references
