Harassment at work complaints increases with awareness

Harassment comes in many shapes and forms, whether it’s sexual or racial and harassment cases in the workplace are on the up as people become more aware that someone will make a stand for them. Many companies, large and small, do not know how to deal with harassment and don’t have policies on dealing with it so more and more people, employers, employees and consumers alike are taking their cases to industrial tribunals.

The tribunals have seen a considerable rise in harassment cases over the past year and are finding it difficult to handle them all. Though most companies believe sexual harassment does not exist, IPM’s vice president warns this is extremely bad for business.
