Comment on: Tackling the cyber stalkers
It is perhaps unsurprising that employers do such stupid things from time to time when you consider the quality of advice they can receive from their “professional advisors”. A case in point is this load of old nonsense above from solicitors Towers & Hamlins regarding cyber harassment of employees by clients or residents.
So there is no duty or obligation for employers to investigate a complaint from one of its employees that they are being harassed by a client or resident?
Apart from this advice being morally bankrupt, there is a clear and specific duty under health and safety legislation to risk assess in order to protect staff and then take action. If any organisation fails to investigate harassment and this harasser then went on to harm or even murder an employee I would expect that employer to be charged under criminal law. Putting not only that organisation at risk of fines but also possible imprisonment for individual managers and directors. Furthermore huge fines can be levied on directors personally for such inaction and they will be liable to pay not the employer or any liability insurer. -
