Changes to Law - Violence and Harassment at Work

Malta is on the verge of a workplace reform milestone, as the proposed Employment and Industrial Relations (Amendment) Bill seeks to integrate ILO Convention No. 190, the global standard on eliminating violence and harassment, directly into local legislation.

​

This reform represents a major evolution in employee protection and employer responsibility.

​

During this webinar, we will unpack the proposed changes, explain their practical impact on Maltese workplaces, and help employers, HR professionals, and advisers prepare to review and strengthen their internal policies with confidence.

What You'll Learn
Violence and harassment at work are no longer issues that employers can afford to approach reactively. This webinar will provide a practical overview of the proposed legislative changes and what they are expected to mean in day-to-day employment relationships in Malta.

​

We will explore the legal concepts behind the reform, the broader scope of protection introduced by ILO Convention No. 190, and the implications for workplace culture, reporting structures, disciplinary handling, and employer risk management.

Participants will also gain practical guidance on the steps they should start considering now, including reviewing policies, internal procedures, and management training.
