Dealing With Sexual Harassment

This Employer Guide provides practical, detailed and valuable information relating to sexual harassment in the workplace.

Sexual harassment complaints in New Zealand workplaces are increasing every year. Employers need to ensure they take all possible steps to minimise their liability in this area. If they don’t they can be, and often are, held responsible for the actions of employees, visitors, clients or contractors.

Your liability can be minimised by having an effective and accessible complaint procedure in place, and policies that clearly communicate the undesirability of sexually offensive behaviour within the workplace or between individuals.

We provide practical, detailed and valuable information relating to sexual harassment in the workplace, with suggestions on how to develop and implement policies and procedures to minimise and to deal with complaints effectively and sensitively. Also included is a draft sexual harassment policy employers can adopt or adapt for their own workplaces, and suggestions for effective staff and management education.
