Companies are now buying insurance against harassment charges #MeToo

For India Inc, the recent spate of allegations under the ‘Me Too’ movement has led to a realisation that it is not just large companies or those with global operations that need an Employment Practices Liability cover but also smaller domestic firms.

The Employment Practices Liability cover provides protection against claims from employees based on discrimination (for example, based on sex, race, age or disability) or wrongful termination or harassment. It also covers other related issues, such as failure to promote.
