Whilst we recognise the challenges, the first step in tackling harassment at work could be to raise the matter internally and exhaust internal processes first.
It may be more appropriate to raise the matter with the Human Resources department or at a senior level of management where the complaint is about a line manager.
We recommend seeking early employment law advice about making a grievance and to consider all options including a potential constructive dismissal. We can give you a clear strategy, increasing the chances of a successful outcome either through pursuing a claim in the Employment Tribunal or reaching a settlement with your employer.
