Building awareness of sexual harassment

Following an expansive ‘getting to know you’ exercise, we designed and delivered a series of in-person workshops that 
were specifically designed to:

• Define sexual harassment and understand the environments where it can take place.

• Raise awareness of the new duty to prevent sexual harassment.

• Understand the potential impact and consequences of sexual harassment, particularly within the context of the high-profile luxury hospitality industry.

• Understand individual responsibility in ensuring a respectful culture free from sexual harassment.

• To provide a framework for ensuring the prevention of sexual harassment when dealing with high-profile guests, aligned to the organisation’s values.

In response to the success of the workshops and feedback received from senior leaders and heads of departments, the hotels Learning & Development department took the decision to expand the programme to all approximate 500 employees across all departments, including all front-of-house, guest experience, housekeeping, maintenance and other behind the scenes employees.

FAIRER was tasked with supporting the hotel's in-house team with the upskilling required to deliver this training using a ‘Train the Trainer’ approach, including the provision of relevant training materials and additional advice and guidance to nominated trainers.
