“MAD-HR's Sexual Harassment in the Workplace was very informative”
“MAD-HR's Sexual Harassment in the Workplace was very informative. The Information provided in the training was a reminder of what is inappropriate in the workplace. The scenario of the employee and their line manager was useful in the aspects of context and intervention from within the business.”
Cafes, restaurants and shops that are self-contained and can be accessed from the outside, will still be permitted to open.
They have advised that they will continue to phase reopening and hope to re-open other close-contact businesses as soon as possible.
