Bullying and Harassment Workplace Passport
ClearTalents’ Bullying and Harassment Passport is designed to help organisations foster a safe, respectful work environment whilst ensuring compliance with the latest legislation. Our user-friendly DEI software empowers employees and supports employers in addressing and preventing workplace bullying and harassment.
What is a Bullying and Harassment Passport?
A Bullying and Harassment Passport is a secure, personalised document within our DEI software that allows employees to:
- Confirm they’ve read and understood your organisation’s Workplace Bullying and Harassment Policy
- Report experiences or witnessing of bullying, harassment, or sexual harassment
- Access relevant processes and support resources
- Update their concerns at any time
- Control sharing of information with managers or D&I teams
This passport is crucial for compliance with the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023, which comes into force on 26 October 2024. The new Act requires employers to take proactive steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace.
