The Equality and Human Rights Commission EHRC first got involved with Ikea in February last year after being made aware of an allegation of sexual harassment and assault in one of its UK stores. The complaint was not properly handled by management, according to it.
I'm sure it isn't a comfortable place for an employer to be in when we come in and tell them that they're not doing what they need to be doing, but Ikea has agreed to do this. Baroness Falkner said that the EHRC doesn't take lightly such agreements. He said that if you have been sexually harassed at work, the firm would continue to work with the EHRC to make sure employers have the right tools to protect them in the workplace.
