Fernanda Hermosilla has settled for £36,000 after enduring unwanted physical attention from a colleague during a staff Christmas party in December 2022. Although the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission initiated an investigation, Ms. Hermosilla faced ongoing difficulties, particularly as her colleague worked from home. With support from the Equality Commission, she took a stand against inappropriate workplace behavior, highlighting the need for clear communication and support from employers. The case serves as a reminder for organizations to maintain safe environments during office gatherings.
