Mandatory violence and harassment prevention training

The Lithuanian Labour Code obliges all employers, regardless of the number of employees, to:

  • provide a safe working environment where employees are free from violence and harassment;
  • organise mandatory violence and harassment prevention training for all employees;
  • develop a procedure for reporting and handling reports of violence and harassment.

Companies with more than 50 employees are additionally required to adopt a comprehensive violence and harassment prevention policy.

We offer violence and harassment prevention training programmes that meet the requirements of the Labour Code and help build a safe and successful corporate culture.

We tailor our training programmes to the individual needs of your organisation. We place particular emphasis on practical examples.
