Harassment, Discrimination and More: Handling Allegations from Employees, Managing Disputes and Taking Preventive Steps

On 31 July 2023, Rajah & Tann organised an event titled “Harassment, Discrimination and More: Handling Allegations from Employees, Managing Disputes and Taking Preventive Steps”. Workplace harassment and complaints about discrimination at work have taken front-and-centre-stage in the employment arena. At the seminar, Kala Anandarajah, BBM, Head of the Competition & Antitrust and Trade Practice and Partner from the Employment Practice, and Partner Alvin Tan looked at how and when workplace harassment and discrimination claims are raised and the conduct that fall within each of these two categories. They discussed how workplace harassment and discrimination disputes are managed. They also considered the appropriate action steps to take to manage the process, and shared best practices that can be adopted to create an environment of trust in the resolution of issues relating to workplace harassment and discrimination.
