(Sexually) transgressive behaviour

Employers are required to ensure a safe working environment. This includes having policies in place to prevent (sexual) inappropriate behaviour. Under the Working Conditions Act (Arbowet), organisations must address psychosocial workload (PSA), which also covers (sexual) harassment.

In practice, this means putting in place measures such as a risk assessment and evaluation (RI&E), an action plan, a code of conduct and access to a confidential adviser.

When (sexually) transgressive behaviour is reported, careful handling is essential. Such situations can have far-reaching consequences, including implications for employment relationships, termination of contracts, reputational damage and potential liability towards third parties.
