Employers have obligations under various legislation to reduce the risk of unlawful conduct such as harassment, discrimination and bullying.
In addition to legislative requirements, complaints of harassment, discrimination and bullying can prove costly to employers. If a complaint is made to a court or tribunal, employers are faced with the potential cost of damages if found directly or vicariously liable for harassment or discrimination.
Creating a workplace culture that is harmonious and free from discrimination, harassment and bullying will not only address legislative requirements, but will minimise the risks associated with employee complaints, as well as improving employee satisfaction, morale and productivity.
