The biggest business group in the UK has admitted it hired ‘culturally toxic’ staff and failed to fire people accused of sexually harassing female colleagues.
President Brian McBride said a ‘small minority of staff’ had ‘regressive and in some cases abhorrent attitudes’ to the women they worked with. In an open letter published on Monday, he said: ‘We tried to find resolution in sexual harassment cases when we should have removed those offenders from our business.
‘It allowed that very small minority of staff with regressive – and, in some cases, abhorrent – attitudes towards their female colleagues to feel more assured in their behaviour, and more confident of not being detected.
