Description

In this episode of Employment Talk, our hosts delve into the government’s proposal to reintroduce employer liability for third-party harassment in the workplace. With headlines warning of a so-called “banter ban,” Jo and Elaine cut through the noise to explain what the new legal duties actually mean for employers.

They explore the background to third-party harassment laws, look at what the proposed changes to the Equality Act involve, and outline how employers can prepare, especially in high-risk sectors like hospitality and retail.
