Use our range of practical tools to help you prevent and tackle harassment and sexual harassment in the workplace
UK employers have a legal duty to prevent harassment and sexual harassment at work — but there's a strong business case too. Harassment can undermine morale, disrupt collaboration, and hold back organisational performance, making it as much a productivity issue as a legal one.
To help plan their organisational approach, CIPD members can access checklists, templates and an action plan designed to identify harassment risks, take targeted preventative action, and document an organisation's response to sexual harassment. These tools help you not only comply with new obligations under the Equality Act 2010 introduced by the Employment Rights Act 2025, but plan an ongoing approach that benefits your organisation and its culture.
Use these member-exclusive tools to promote a productive, safe workplace while reducing risk and demonstrating compliance.
