NOVITAS supports businesses in complying with the requirements of Law 4808/2021 (Government Gazette 101/2021) on the Elimination of Violence and Harassment at Work

The law on the Elimination of Violence and Harassment in the World of Work (Law 4808/2021) was published in June 2021 in Government Gazette 101/2021 and its application is mandatory for all companies and organizations.

The Law, as worded, is clear and categorical with regard to employers' obligations, which are described in detail, but it does not help the businesses subject to it understand what actions they need to take in order to comply.

At NOVITAS, with experience in Regulatory Compliance (EU Regulations) and in the development of management systems for Health & Safety (OHSAS 18001, ISO 45001), Social Responsibility (SA 8000, ISO 26000) and Ethics at Work (ECOVADIS rating system), we analysed the requirements of the law and developed a Policy Manual for combating Violence and Harassment at Work

The Manual includes the Company's Commitment to protecting employees from harassment, as well as Specific Policies, Procedures and instructions for their implementation.

The Policies and Procedures are adapted to the way your business operates. Their implementation is easy, as they are worded in plain, understandable language, without adding bureaucratic burden to your staff.

Implementing the Policies and Procedures helps the business achieve compliance with Law 4808/2021

NOVITAS is in a position to provide you with the right support on the road to compliance with Law 4808/2021, as well as ensuring the protection of your staff from any Moral Harassment in the workplace as well as Workplace Bullying (Mobbing).

Having a management system such as ISO 9001 is not a prerequisite for implementing the Policies and procedures.

Furthermore, NOVITAS, guides you in making the modifications required by Law 4808 to the Occupational Risk Assessment Study (MEEK)
