Protecting Dignity in the Workplace: Court reinforces employers’ duties in sexual harassment claims

The Employment and Labour RelationsCourt in Faith Viloko v Grand Café Indian Cuisine & Another KEELRC 2688 (2 October 2025) (Judgment) has reaffirmed that sexual harassment in the workplace is not only a statutory breach but also a constitutional violation. The court found that the employer failed to protect the employee from sexual harassment and degrading treatment and awarded her KES 1,150,000 in damages for the violations and constructive dismissal. This decision underscores that all employers, regardless of size, have an obligation to uphold employee dignity, provide a safe work environment, and respond decisively to complaints of sexual misconduct.
