Download the Checklist
Due to the increasing social attention for transgressive behaviour in the workplace, many employers are updating their codes of conduct and complaints procedures. This is of high importance because the lack of a clear policy in this area entails significant risks. Employers can be held liable for incidents or conflicts arising from transgressive behaviour if they do not have adequate policies that protect employees and provide clear guidelines.
As an employer, how do you effectively implement this policy internally? It all starts with a clear code of conduct that is understandable and accessible to everyone. This code of conduct must be explicit about what behaviour is and is not acceptable, and must establish norms and values for the workplace. In addition, it is crucial to set up a well-functioning complaints procedure, so that employees who encounter transgressive behaviour know where to turn to and how their complaint will be handled. See how you, as an employer, can draw up a solid policy that not only reduces risks, but also promotes a safe and respectful working environment in this checklist 'Complaint handling of transgressive behaviour in the workplace'.
