The Worker Protection Act 2024 introduces significant changes to workplace law, this supports safer working environments for all employees within the UK.
Employers are now legally obligated to take reasonable steps to prevent workplace sexual harassment by updating their policies, investing in training, and establishing systems like WalkSafe’s Worker Protection Platform, so employees can confidentially report misconduct without fear of retaliation or exposure.
In an ever-changing landscape, technology plays a crucial role in supporting businesses during this transition so they become compliant, as non-compliance can now lead to legal liabilities. WalkSafe believes that proactive adoption of these changes is essential to mitigate risks and foster a positive workplace culture.
As leaders within the Personal Safety Space, WalkSafe has partnered with the UKs leading security and intelligence provider Mitie, to provide organisations with a comprehensive data and intelligence package which complies with the new legal requirements.
