Remaining compliant with the new worker protection legislation

As of next month, new worker protection legislation will come into effect, aimed at enhancing workplace safety and employee rights. Key features of the legislation include:

1. Increased Minimum Wage: The legislation mandates a rise in the minimum wage, ensuring workers receive fair compensation for their labour.
2. Expanded Leave Policies: New provisions will allow for additional sick leave and parental leave, promoting better work-life balance and supporting employees in times of need.
3. Stronger Anti-Discrimination Measures: The legislation introduces stricter policies against workplace discrimination and harassment, reinforcing protections for marginalised groups.
4. Job Security Enhancements: There are new regulations aimed at reducing unjust termination and providing clearer pathways for employees to address grievances.
5. Improved Health and Safety Standards: Employers will be required to adopt more rigorous health and safety measures to protect workers from workplace hazards.
6. Enhanced Reporting Mechanisms: Workers will have access to improved channels for reporting violations and seeking assistance without fear of retaliation.

Overall, the new legislation aims to create a safer, fairer, and more equitable working environment for all employees.

Our new Bullying and Harassment course has been designed to ensure that organisations understand their responsibilities under the new legislation by providing the knowledge and tools they will need to educate employees about what constitutes harassment and how to report it, whilst also fostering a workplace culture rooted in respect and equality.

The course consists of a series of short, interactive video-based modules and an assessment to ensure compliance with necessary information and practices and the ability to implement these into the work environment.
