An unlawful harassment prevention guide – Step-by-step instructions that are available to prevent, address and resolve harassment issues in the workplace.

These value-added resources also build upon the innovative enhancements offered through the Chartis insurers’ Employment Edge policy, such as social media protection and other expanded notice and coverage features.
