Episode description
When Does Banter Become Sexual Harassment?
What happens when workplace "banter" crosses the line?
In this episode, our HR consultancy deals with a real HR crisis: a junior employee reports their supervisor for graphic sexual conversations, dismissing concerns as just "a teenage boy's dream."
We Diagnose:
- The fine line between joking and harassment
- How power dynamics impact workplace behaviour
- The right way to handle complaints & protect employees
Is it just banter, or has a serious boundary been crossed?
Tune in to find out.
One harassment claim could SHUT your business! A single complaint could cost £30K to £100K - before legal fees. That’s why our HR software + CPD sexual harassment training is the ultimate solution!
