\nRecent changes to UK sexual harassment legislation place a legal duty on employers to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment. This duty covers harassment from other employees and also from third parties, such as customers and clients.
\nOur training courses help employers understand their duty to protect employees, prevent harassment, and allow individuals to feel better equipped to respond to and report harassment.
\nOur Sexual Harassment Training is designed to teach the following:
\n\u2022 Understand the legal definition of harassment under UK law
\n\u2022 Recognise the different forms of harassment
\n\u2022 Consider the impact that harassment has on individuals within the workplace
\n\u2022 Understand how any concerns relating to harassment will be dealt with in the workplace and what support is available<\/p>\n
\nSadly, the death of a baby is not a rare event. 50% of adults in the UK said that they, or someone they know, had experienced at least one form of pregnancy or baby loss (Source: YouGov).

\nMenopausal women are the fastest-growing demographic in the workforce, and now more than ever it\u2019s important to speak openly about menopause at work.
\nAccording to Fourth, 90% of workplaces have no formal support for women experiencing menopause. We think this needs to change.
\nOur Menopause Awareness Training seeks to:
\n\u2022 Encourage open conversations and break down misconceptions
\n\u2022 Help employees manage symptoms while still feeling valued
\n\u2022 Improve employee well-being and productivity

Addiction is a complex and deeply personal issue that impacts millions of people and can affect every aspect of a person\u2019s wellbeing \u2014 mental, physical, and social.<\/p>\n
