Creating a safe, respectful and legally compliant workplace is not just good practice – it is your legal and moral duty. Especially since the enactment of the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023, which compels employers to take proactive measures to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace.
At Prettys, we bring together legal expertise, workplace culture insight, and tailored delivery to help organisations protect staff, manage risk, and embed trust and dignity at work.
What Makes Prettys Stand Out / Why Choose Us
- We are lawyers first, which means your policies and processes are drafted, reviewed and implemented with full legal rigour, confidentiality and sensitivity.
- But we don’t stop at legal theory, our approach is practical, user-friendly and tailored to your business, so you actually use it.
- We have the right resources at the right time – from investigation support to training, culture diagnostics, leadership planning, and more.
- We design bespoke packages structured to reflect your organisation’s size, risk profile, culture and budget.
- Most importantly, working with us helps you demonstrate to employees that you are committed to dignity, fairness and accountability – not just compliance.
What Prettys Can Do: Our Services & Process
Below is how we bring this into action within your organisation.
| Area | What We Provide |

| Leadership / Action Planning | Strategy sessions with senior teams to turn diagnostics into action and embed change. |
Why This Matters
- Legal, financial & reputational risk : Failure to act can lead to claims, enforcement, regulatory attention and damage to your brand.
- Unseen risk : Many incidents go unreported for fear, embarrassment or lack of trust in the system. Assuming “it doesn’t happen here” is dangerous.
- Cultural opportunity : Getting it right enhances trust, retention, morale, and your reputation as a responsible employer.
- Evidence of commitment : By engaging a solicitor-delivered programme, you show staff (and regulators) you take this seriously – not just as window dressing.
