Handshakes may be banned at work to avoid sexual harassment ''grey area.''
Bizarre on Female First
Employment expert Kate Palmer told The Metro: ''Some employers may put a complete ban on physical contact.
''Whether that's going too far or not is a question I would pose, because it's contextual. Does shaking someone's hand go too far?
''They may just say 'no contact at all' because there's no grey area.''
According to a recent survey of 2,000 adults on Totaljobs, three out of four were keen for there to be a complete physical contact ban when at work.
Kate warned: ''The workplace does extend outside the office. The classic example is the Christmas night out. We get a lot of queries about how to control staff behaviour at events.''
