The #MeToo movement has grown significantly since its inception five years ago, shining a spotlight on the widespread prevalence of sexual harassment and even violence in workplaces in several countries. And this increased awareness has led to more frequent employment practices liability (EPL) claims.
In this episode of Risk in Context, Kelly Thoerig, Marsh’s EPL coverage leader, speaks with Michelle Sequeira, diversity, equity, and inclusion consulting leader at Mercer, and Carrie Kurzon, head of EPL product at AIG, about the evolution of the #MeToo movement, the ensuing cultural changes in workplaces, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the claims landscape. They also share some red flags that underwriters are on the lookout for.
