Harassment and Misconduct

It is increasingly important for corporate risk management to handle any incidents of misconduct or harassment in the workplace, such as power harassment, sexual harassment, maternity and nursing harassment, promptly and effectively, as not only the offender but also the company may be held liable, and an improper response may expose the company to serious reputational risk.

 

We provide comprehensive support for dealing with harassment or misconduct, including:

• Drafting of harassment policies and rules
• Investigation and analysis of alleged incidents
• Disciplinary measures
• Measures to prevent recurrence
• Responding to authorities
• Compliance audits
• In-house training (in-person and online) such as harassment prevention training
• Whistleblower support
