Employers expect to see more employment-related claims within the next year, a new survey shows.
QBE North America’s Employment Practices Liability Report, based on a survey of 200 legal and human resources professionals at organizations with annual revenues between $500 million and $5 billion, examines employment-related risks, found that in the past 12 months, 69% of legal and HR professionals reported their organization experienced claims made by employees alleging discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or other employment-related issues.
Forty-two percent of respondents expect the frequency of employment-related claims at their organization to increase over the next year.
