As an employer in Spain, you are legally obligated to implement a protocolo de acoso that outlines measures for preventing and addressing inappropriate behavior.

Furthermore, the Spanish Work Law guarantees the right to physical integrity and an adequate occupational risk prevention policy, considering harassment situations as an occupational risk (article 4 Estatuto de los Trabajadores).

As part of this protocol, it is highly recommended to appoint an external confidential counselor and ensure their role is clearly communicated and visible to all staff members.

In my capacity as an external Confidential Advisor, I am the point of contact for employees seeking support, whether they need someone to listen or assistance in resolving dilemmas with coworkers.

This proactive approach encourages empowerment, enhances workplace well-being, and contributes to reducing absenteeism.
