Is Your Business Ready for Christmas Party Season?

Christmas is just around the corner, and while festive celebrations are a great way to bring your team together, they can also open the door to risks—especially with recent changes to workplace sexual harassment laws.

With changes coming into force to the Equality Act 2010 on 26^th October 2024, businesses are now required to take all reasonable steps to prevent harassment, and that includes office parties.

At Aticus Law, we know time is tight, but it’s not too late to protect your business. A quick risk assessment can help you avoid legal pitfalls and ensure your event is a safe, enjoyable success.

We specialise in creating tailored risk assessments to protect your business and ensure your team enjoys a safe and stress-free event.

A risk assessment allows you to:

1. Identify Potential Risks: Evaluate the factors that could lead to inappropriate behaviour, such as alcohol consumption, unclear behavioural expectations, or poor oversight.
2. Demonstrate Due Diligence: Show that your business is proactive in preventing harm by taking concrete steps to address potential issues.
3. Create a Safe Environment: Foster a culture of respect and accountability that encourages employees to feel safe and supported.

By partnering with us, you’ll not only protect your business from potential liabilities but also create an environment where all employees can celebrate with confidence and respect.
