Workplace Harassment Policy

A workplace harassment policy explains prohibited conduct, reporting routes and how concerns will be handled. It should cover relevant working contexts and align with applicable legal requirements.

Example

The policy explains how an employee can report repeated offensive messages from a colleague, including when the direct manager is involved in the complaint.

What to keep in mind

Use clear examples without implying the list is exhaustive. Provide fair investigation procedures, confidentiality safeguards and protection against retaliation, and distinguish any legally required specialist complaint process.
