Why do we have this policy?

Juro is committed to providing an inclusive and safe environment for everyone. This policy aims to protect all Jurors from sexual harassment, by:

• educating everyone about sexual harassment and their role in developing a culture free from it;
• fostering a work environment that supports the dignity and respect of all;
• providing a procedure for dealing with sexual harassment properly.

This policy applies to all Jurors, regardless of how you are engaged by the Juro group.

This policy doesn’t form part of anyone’s contract, and we may amend it at any time.

If you breach this policy, you could face disciplinary action.

Sexual harassment

<aside> 💡 This policy applies to any unwanted sexual conduct that happens at work, including while working from home, during a commute, using work systems (like Slack), during work-related social and other events, and business trips.

</aside>

Everyone has a part to play in being aware of, preventing, and dealing with sexual harassment. Juro does not tolerate sexual harassment in any form, and will treat all incidents seriously and promptly investigate all allegations.

You must report any instance of work-related sexual harassment in line with this policy, even if the perpetrator does not work for Juro (e.g. the perpetrator works for a customer or supplier, or is another visitor to our premises).

Responsibilities of managers

Juro's executives and managers play a crucial role in preventing sexual harassment. They must:

• make their teams aware of this policy, as well as Juro's and their own individual responsibilities under it;
• always challenge any unacceptable behaviour that they are aware of, even if they are not directly affected;
• be aware of behaviour and language that can cause offence including jokes and banter, and if necessary, remind Jurors of the expected standards;
• respond to complaints of sexual harassment swiftly, sensitively and objectively using specified procedures.

Definition of sexual harassment

Sexual harassment occurs when a person (the perpetrator) subjects another (the victim) to unwanted conduct of a sexual nature which has the purpose or effect of:

• violating the victim’s dignity, or
• creating an environment that is intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive to the victim.
