Eliminating Violence and Harassment in the World of Work

This new global standard (C190) from the International Labour Organization (ILO) can help you understand the public policy measures needed to end violence and harassment in the workplace. It is the first international treaty to “recognize the right of everyone to a world of work free from violence and harassment.” Although it is for national governments to implement, business can learn from the core principles outlined and the accompanying video series. Additionally, its adoption has implications for business sustainability. This standard will be most relevant to sustainability as well as legal and compliance teams.
