Bellevue Law Senior Consultant Georgina Calvert-Lee has been quoted in a recent Law360 UK article,”EHRC Says Nonemployees Can Claim Workplace Harassment”.
The article examines updated guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) regarding workplace harassment protections and the circumstances in which individuals who are not traditional employees may be able to bring harassment claims. It forms part of the wider conversation around employers’ obligations to prevent harassment in the workplace and the increasing focus on creating safe and respectful working environments for all individuals engaging with an organisation.
The discussion comes at a time when employers are facing enhanced legal duties to take proactive steps to prevent workplace harassment, including harassment involving third parties and non-traditional working relationships.
Commenting in the article, Georgina shares her insights on the practical implications of the EHRC’s guidance and what organisations should be considering when reviewing their policies, procedures and workplace culture.
As workplace relationships continue to evolve, employers should ensure that their approach to preventing harassment extends beyond permanent employees and reflects the realities of modern working arrangements.
