Event Overview
Are you aware of the measures employers are required to take concerning power harassment? In many power harassment cases, not only has the employee committed harassment but the company is charged for its failure to take action. On June 5, Japan’s so-called Labor Policy General Promotion Act was amended. Employers are now legally obliged to take necessary action to prevent power harassment. As the employer’s responsibility in such cases increases, so does their exposure to legal risks. During this seminar, Kitahama Partners Associate Masataka Shitanishi will use several legal cases to illustrate and explain what actions employers need to take when power harassment occurs. Note: This event will be conducted in Japanese with key points summarized in English. パワーハラスメントの重要問題 パワハラにおける事業主として取るべき対応を理解していますか？ ハラスメントが発生した場合、行為者のみならず、会社が十分に対策を講じなかったことが原因で責任を問われるケースが多くあります。本年6月5日、いわゆる労働施策総合推進法が改正され、事業主にパワーハラスメント防止のために雇用管理上必要な措置を講ずることが義務づけられるようになりました。ハラスメント防止に向けた事業主の役割はますます重要になってきている反面、対応を誤ると、法的責任を負わされる危険性が大きくなってきております。 本セミナーでは、弁護士が、実際にパワハラが発生した場合に、会社が取るべき対応について、ケースに沿って具体的に解説します。 [当イベントは日本語で実施されます。キーポイントについては、英語の要約が入ります。] About the Speaker Masataka Shitanishi is an Attorney at Law (Japan and New York) at Kitahama Partners.
