Why do we need training for work related social events?

Work related social events present liability risks for employers. Lots of things can and do go wrong!
Harassment and other complaints are regularly made. 
Reputations are damaged. Workplace investigations are required.

Training Employees, Managers & HR/organisers helps reduce risk of people behaving badly and the follow on consequences.

What's the worst that could happen?

This training could save employers from paying
uncapped financial losses for sex harassment/ discrimination
& for every discrimination award, an injury to feelings award is added as well.  

Here are the published Vento bands that currently apply for injury to feelings awards ...

Helping employers to comply with the Equality and Human Rights Commission 8-step guide:
Preventing sexual harassment at work

Step 1

Only employers can 'develop an effective anti-harassment policy', however, this training communicates that the employer has an anti-harassment policy and that it applies at work related social events.

It references the other behavioural, whistleblowing, grievance and disciplinary procedures that may apply.

Step 2

Where employers must 'engage your staff' in anti-harassment initiatives, this training provides a valuable and engaging focus on unlawful harassment including from third parties at work related social events and highlights that reports of concerns are welcome.

A template downloadable employee communication is included.

Step  3

Where employers must 'assess and take steps' to reduce risk in the workplace, this training helps HR personnel/ organisers & approvers to both understand the employer's responsibilities and to conduct risk assessments that include the risk of sexual harassment.

A template downloadable risk assessment is included.

Step  4

The employer's 'reporting' mechanisms for concerns are highlighted - via reports to line management, local HR leads, grievances, misconduct & whistleblowing reporting channels.

Step 5

'Training' - workers are to be trained on what sexual harassment looks like, what to do if they experience or witness it & how to handle complaints - The Office Party Dos & Don'ts Series will form an essential part of your assignable and trackable training provision.

Step 6

Only the employer can act to resolve the harassment complaints, however, this training refers learners to policies for their rights and the next steps in the process.

Step  7

There is a major section in this training on 'dealing with harassment by third parties'. What to say, where to go for support, how to raise concerns, how to assist with an investigation are all addressed.

Step  8

Assignment and course completion records will help employers to 'monitor and evaluate' their actions.
