Leading ethics and compliance software and services company NAVEX Global® highlighted research today finding more than 44 per cent of UK business directors have never received training on workplace harassment, and 21 per cent have only received one training session, according to the report.
Twenty-eight per cent of the UK non-managerial level workforce have either never been trained or only received one session on workplace harassment. This represents a significant proportion of the workforce inadequately trained to be aware of and spot harassment, as well as what constitutes such behaviour. The comprehensive report, Tackling Sexual Harassment in the Workplace, indicates UK organisations require a continued focus if sexual harassment is to better addressed.
