		<div id="textsize"><p>(<a href="none" class="source">ios</a>) - Preventing different forms of <b>abuse</b> of employees in the workplace was the subject of a meeting held at the Seychelles Trading Company (STC) conference centre on Monday, as some deficiencies exist in the current laws and practices to protect victims.</p>
<p>“This is the first step towards ensuring workers are safe in their place of <b>employment</b> and that they are not victims of <b>abuse</b>,” said the principal secretary for <b>tourism</b>, Sherin Francis, in her opening address at a workshop to establish the necessary mechanisms to report <b>abuse</b> in the workplace.</p>
<p>“The problem of <b>abuse</b> is not one that will be solved overnight, but establishing the necessary mechanisms to report such instances is a start to tackling the issue and finding solutions,” she added.</p>
<p>Representatives from a committee set up earlier this year to deal with issues of <b>abuse</b> in the <b>tourism</b> industry as well as others concerned with working conditions, such as the Attorney General’s office and the <b>Employment</b> Department, attended the event.</p>
<p>Initially, the <b>Tourism</b> Department had set up the committee to determine what was the cause of a lack of productivity in the sector.</p>
<p>“We realised that <b>abuse</b> in the workplace was also affecting some of the workers’ productivity,” she explained.</p>
<p>Furthermore, Seychelles’ economy – an archipelago in the Western Indian Ocean – is heavily reliant on the <b>tourism</b> sector.</p>
<p>There are some 17,000 employees in the sector consisting of both Seychellois nationals and foreign workers.</p>
<p>According to the <b>Employment</b> Department’s figures, there were 182 complaints by employees recorded from January to December 2021, while 75 have been recorded from January to July 2022.</p>
<p><b>Employment</b> Department official Ronny Baker said these complaints included issues of employees being paid below the minimum wage or that they were not receiving necessary protective gears.</p>
<p>While Seychelles laws currently make provisions for addressing <b>abuse</b> in some areas in the workplace, there are new challenges that have come up that the law needs to address.</p>
<p>Facilitator at the workshop, Tessa Henderson, put forward to the participants that they should think about how to deal with harassment on social media and how to protect whistle-blowers who bring attention to the workplace.</p>
<p>The Seychelles Workers Federation Union's head, Antoine Robinson also admitted that current laws protecting employees against <b>abuse</b> are lacking.</p>
<p>“We as a union are often dealing with the various cases of harassment that workers bring to our attention,” said Robinson.</p>
<p>As sexual harassment is also one of the abuses talked about, Robinson said that he realised “that as it is a bit more delicate to deal with. People tend to avoid talking about it”.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the United Nations has highlighted in its report that the current laws in the island state are lacking in certain areas – including the necessary tools to report cases of abuse.</p>
<p>Robinson said that this could be partly dealt with by “ratifying the <b>ILO</b> [International Labour Organisation] 2019 convention”.</p>
<p>“The convention will provide us with various tools to incorporate in our own laws, regulations and policies to ensure that we have a good law that is human and is in the best interest of all those concerned,” he explained.</p>
