Experienced Employment Lawyer Launched Practical Guide to Workplace Culture as #MeToo Continues to Gain Traction

As the issue of sexual assault and harassment in the workplace continues to gain momentum, a leading lawyer in the area has launched an invaluable guide for employers and employees alike. Building on her personal passion for the cause and vast experience within employment law, Mirande Valbrune has taken a deeper look at what the #MeToo campaign means and how work environments need to adapt.

Valbrune said, “In just the space of a few months, the #MeToo campaign has reached staggering proportions. In the first two days that the term was coined on Twitter it had been used more than 500,000 times, highlighting the vast scale of the problem. It’s an issue that I’ve seen numerous times working as an employment lawyer and one that desperately needed to take center stage in order for it to gain the attention that it deserves.

“While the media focus should be applauded there’s now the challenge of ensuring real change is built off the campaign.”

The #MeToo movement began following the revelations of sexual misconduct allegations against well-known film producer Harvey Weinstein in October 2017. Encouraged by the accusers stepping forward, women from around the globe and working within a variety of industries shared their personal experiences of sexual harassment, including numerous celebrities. Valbrune is now urging employers to take responsibility for the culture of their workplace to create environments that provide protection and a culture where victims are able to come forward.

Valbrune added, “Addressing the possibility of sexual harassment in the workplace is not a simple task but it’s one that businesses today can’t afford to ignore. I wrote my book – #MeToo: A Practical Guide to Navigating Today’s Cultural Workplace Revolution – to act as a blueprint for those keen to embrace the culture shift.”

Written for those working in human resources, diversity professionals, employment lawyers, managers, and employees that are concerned about how their actions could be perceived, #MeToo: A Practical Guide to Navigating Today’s Cultural Workplace Revolution is a must read. It combines a look at what catalysed the #MeToo movement, as well as

highlighting scenarios inspired by real #MeToo stories and providing practical guidance in light of the campaign.

Valbrune is a qualified and experienced employment lawyer who has worked on cases featuring many of the issues raised as part of the #MeToo movement. Through supporting and delivering proactive, preventative in-house contributions to employee relations, including sexual harassment training, policy, and investigations, she has a unique insight into how firms can improve their workplace environment.
