Sexual Harassment Awareness Training
Practical training to help your business meet its preventative duty
Since October 2024, employers have had a legal duty to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace.
While policies remain important, they are only one part of meeting that duty. Employees and managers also need to understand what sexual harassment looks like in practice, how to respond appropriately and how to contribute to a respectful workplace culture.
Our 40-minute interactive Sexual Harassment Awareness Training helps businesses meet their legal duty to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace. Delivered live by experienced HR Directors, the session gives employees and managers the practical knowledge and confidence to recognise inappropriate behaviour and respond appropriately.
How Sexual Harassment Awareness Training Supports Your Business
Sexual harassment is not simply an HR issue. It is a people issue with legal, financial and commercial consequences.
Businesses that invest in awareness training are taking practical steps to:
- Deliver on their preventative legal duty
- Help employees recognise inappropriate behaviour
- Give managers confidence to respond appropriately
- Reinforce expectations across the business
- Promote a respectful workplace culture

- What sexual harassment is and how it is legally defined
- The difference between intentional and unintentional behaviour
- How to recognise both obvious and subtle forms of harassment
- The impact harassment can have on individuals and workplace culture

- Where to seek support
- Everyone's role in creating a respectful workplace
Live Interactive Training Delivered by HR Directors
This isn't a pre-recorded course that people simply click through.
Every session is delivered live by one of our experienced HR Directors, giving participants the opportunity to ask questions,
discuss real workplace situations and explore scenarios they may encounter in everyday working life.
We encourage conversation throughout the session, using practical examples to help bring the topic to life. This gives employees and managers the confidence to recognise inappropriate behaviour, understand where the boundaries are and know how to respond if concerns arise.
Rather than simply explaining what the law says, we focus on helping people understand what respectful behaviour looks like in practice and how everyone can contribute to creating a positive workplace culture.
The law does not require employers to deliver a specific training course. However, since October 2024, employers have had a legal duty to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace. Providing awareness training is widely recognised as one of the most effective ways to demonstrate that you are taking practical steps to meet this duty.
No. While policies are an important part of preventing sexual harassment, they are unlikely to be sufficient on their own. Employees and managers need to understand what sexual harassment looks like in practice, how to respond appropriately and how to raise concerns. Training helps bring your policies to life and reinforces the standards you expect across your business.
The session is suitable for employees at all levels, including managers and supervisors. Creating a respectful workplace is everyone's responsibility, and having managers and employees attend the same session helps build a shared understanding of expected behaviours and responsibilities.
Yes. The training is delivered live online by one of our experienced HR Directors, making it easy for employees to attend wherever they are based. We can also discuss alternative delivery options if you would prefer face-to-face training session.
There is no prescribed timeframe, but training should not be viewed as a one-off exercise. Refresher sessions help reinforce expectations, support new employees, keep managers up to date and demonstrate your ongoing commitment to preventing sexual harassment. Many businesses choose to repeat awareness training periodically or following significant changes to legislation or workplace policies.
