In this episode of HR Moments, Dan Fawcett and Hilary du Randt unpack what’s changing under the Employment Rights Act 2025, ahead of new harassment laws coming into force in October 2026.
They explain the shift to a stronger duty on employers to take all reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment – and what that means in practice, including increased risk around compensation. The discussion also looks at new liability for third-party harassment, and the challenges this creates for employers.
Crucially, they focus on what organisations can do now to get ready, from reviewing risk assessments to putting robust measures in place to address both employee and third-party behaviour.
