What "all reasonable steps" really means for employers in 2026.

Is your business doing enough to prevent sexual harassment at work, or just enough to think it is?

That's the question opening a brand-new quarterly networking series for Cambridge employers this November, as the legal bar for employers is raised again.

Preventing Sexual Harassment In The Workplace is an essential in-person event designed to help employers create a safer, more respectful work environment. Join us for practical tips, engaging discussions, and expert insights on how to identify, address, and prevent harassment. Don't miss this chance to strengthen your team's culture and stay ahead with effective strategies!

This Launch Event breakfast networking session hosted by Citystay Living and The Regent is free to attend. Guests will be welcomed with tea, coffee, croissants and pastries before a focused, practical session designed to deliver valuable insights alongside meaningful local business connections.

The practical session led by Jacqui Kemp of Your People Potential Ltd, will cover:

Real examples of "banter" that tribunals have ruled as harassment, and what that actually cost the businesses involved

What ‘all reasonable steps’ means in practice

The importance of assessing risk in the workplace

Ensuring managers recognise it, not ignore it (or worse, join in)

Why all staff need to know how to address harassment

The impact of handling a complaint badly, because getting this part wrong can be worse than the original incident
