Beyond Borders: Global Anti-Harassment Laws Explained

Many countries require employers to prevent sexual harassment and a number expressly require employers to provide anti-harassment training. Anti-harassment laws around the world differ in important ways from US law. To succeed on a global scale, any employer who has workers based outside the US must understand the requirements in the countries where their employees operate. This is essential to help shape employee behavior and level-set expectations and reduce the risk of claims and regulatory penalties.  

Join us in examining harassment prevention laws around the world, including Canada, the United Kingdom, EU countries, India, Australia and others. We will address how compliance and training requirements vary from those in the US and enforcement measures. You’ll learn the importance of providing your international workforce with culturally relevant training to build a respectful and compliant work environment worldwide.  

The free webinar will address:  

• Canada’s anti-harassment and workplace violence laws 
• Australia’s federal, state and territory anti-harassment laws 
• The UK’s Equality Act, 2010 
• India’s Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) Act 
• Whether global sexual harassment laws protect both men and women 
• The legal protections against bullying in the workplace 
• Where employers are required to prevent harassment and where training is expressly required
