Businesses cannot turn a blind eye to poor behaviour any longer

In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy is joined by Elevate Consulting Partners founder Prabha Nandagopal to discuss the need for institutions to better protect individuals from various forms of misconduct and ensure such behaviour gets stamped out, the newly enforceable positive duty to eliminate sexual harassment and other forms of misconduct, how ready employers are for such enforcement, and how misconduct may have evolved since the age of the pandemic.

Ms Nandagopal also delves into the seven standards that employers need to be across, who needs to be taking responsibility in organisations moving forward, the extent to which individuals can and should be demanding change, how clients can demand better from their external providers and vice versa, and how and why those in businesses of all shapes and sizes can ensure that such duties do not get lost in the triage of urgent priorities in the current market.
