The factors that drive sexual harassment in retail may be complex and many but actions to improve the industry are clear, research based, and desperately needed. Read our latest article that breaks down sexual harassment in the retail industry. https://lnkd.in/gBntmKKk

It has been very sad and upsetting to read about the experiences of former Harrods staff in recent days. Whilst this scandal is significant given the identity of the accused and the scale of the conduct and cover up, sexual harassment does not only occur in huge businesses run by a supremely powerful owner. It remains to be seen how enforcement of the new duty on employers to take steps to prevent sexual harassment will impact behaviour but stories like the scandal at Harrods (and other high profile organisations) illustrate why it makes sense to impose an obligation on employers to takes steps to prevent sexual harassment. Hopefully employers will take the duty seriously as doing so should greatly reduce the prevalence of such appalling behaviour. #sexualharassment #metoo #discrimination #ukemploymentlaw

Him : Isn't POSH a CSR Activity? Me : No Him : Are you absolutely sure? Me : Yes! It is a legal requirement for any company greater than 10 employees. It has been, for more than a decade. Him: But, we have never done this in our company! Me : It is mandatory, but currently there are no audits. Considering how things are moving in the country right now, it is definitely the right time to get started on POSH. Him: <Shaking his head, still unable to believe this>What can happen if someone doesn't comply? Me : The law states that the fine for non-compliance starts from INR 50,000 and repeated non-compliance can lead upto cancellation of your license to practice business.
