Monaco publishes new workplace harassment guide for public employees

The Monaco government has released a new guide for civil servants and contract workers outlining procedures for reporting harassment, sexual misconduct, and workplace violence.

Titled Harcèlement et violence au travail, the document sets out what constitutes inappropriate behaviour and how public employees can report incidents through existing administrative channels. It also explains the rights of those involved, whether victims, witnesses, or the accused.

The guide was developed by the General Inspectorate of Administration, the Directorate of Human Resources and Public Service Training, and the Directorate of Legal Affairs. It follows the 2017 legislation on workplace protection and is intended as a reference for staff within all levels of public administration.

It also includes practical details on reporting mechanisms and clarifies the role of managers in addressing complaints. The publication points to collective responsibility across government departments in identifying and handling workplace misconduct.

The guide is available on the government’s intranet, the Mon Service Public portal, and can be downloaded via QR code on mobile devices.
