Why prevention Matters
Legal Duty
With new regulations on sexual harassment prevention coming into effect in October 2024, there’s never been a better time to adopt a proactive strategy. Employers now have a legal duty to prevent these issues, not just respond to them.
Regulatory Pressure
Regulators are increasingly prioritizing a preventative approach in their codes of conduct, with stronger sanctions for non-compliance. Staying ahead of these changes protects your business and fosters a positive workplace culture.
Commercial advantages
Workplace conflict is estimated to cost the UK £28.5bn with the highest costs related to sickness absence, presenteeism and staff turnover, closely followed by time spent on formal procedures. Prevention reduces risks, costs and reputational damage. Prevention helps to drive productivity and reduce attrition. People want to work with you - giving you access to top talent. Employees remain loyal and invest in achieving your organisation's mission.
Healthier workforce
Poor mental health accounts for more than half of all work-related illnesses. Around 51% of long-term sick leave is due to stress, depression, or anxiety. Investing in a healthy, inclusive workplace culture has been proven to improve innovation and creativity.

Purpose led, campaigning for change
We are campaigning as Stop Hurt at Work for formal recognition of workplace bullying as a problem that injures individuals and damages organisations.
We are raising awareness by sharing information and knowledge, and through lobbying campaigns. We are seeking formal recognition of workplace bullying as a problem that injures individuals and damages organisations.
“Employees are almost twice as likely to have experienced bullying than harassment (not sexual harassment) at work over the past three years (15% versus 8%). Just 4% report experience of sexual harassment.”
CIPD Managing Conflict in the Workplace, January 2020
Workplace bullying is one of the root causes of stress at work and its subsequent impact on individuals and organisations. This needs to be part of conversations from mental health and workplace wellbeing to innovation, engagement and the economy.
The law does not provide sufficient protection or redress for people whose employers let bullying go unchecked, making the process of seeking legal remedy in these cases unduly complex and arduous. We are working with lawyers and legislators to identify and close the gaps in legislation.
