Deferred
Paragraph: 161
Worker Protection Act imposes new duty on firms to prevent sexual harassment
Conclusion
The new Worker Protection Act imposes a new duty on firms to prevent sexual harassment. We hope that this legislation has the desired impact of incentivising firms to take greater action to prevent harassment in the workplace, and we will monitor closely its effectiveness at reducing cases of sexual harassment in financial services.
Government response summary AI-generated
