Recent sexual harassment decisions
Presented by Karell Schmitt-Virgo
Although significant law reform has been introduced to protect employees from sexual harassment in the workplace, there is still work for employers to do.
Senior Associates Karell Schmitt-Virgo and Amy Leong from our Employment & Safety team, examine the implications of recent decisions involving allegations of sexual harassment in the workplace.
They discuss how the courts are interpreting the new positive duty to prevent harassment, what constitutes ‘reasonable steps’ for employers, and the proactive measures organisations should be implementing now.
