Training is a key element of your business meeting their legal obligations and taking 'reasonable and proportionate measures' to eliminate sexual harassment from your workplace. The focus is clearly on voluntary compliance and now is the time to act before you have a complaint/disclosure to deal with.
Our training course is designed to educate HR managers and business leaders and arm them with the knowledge and skills to take back and implement in your business. Practical and focussed, this course deals with a sensitive topic using case studies and hypothecal examples.
In response to the continual rise of sexual harassment as a "hot topic" issue in Australian workplaces in late 2022 the Federal Government changed the law to impose a new 'positive duty' on all employers. This positive duty came into effect in December 2024. It requires all employers to take proactive steps to eliminate sexual harassment and other unlawful behaviour from occurring in the workplace. Simply responding to sexual harassment complaints when they arise is no longer enough.
This means all employers, no matter how big or small, need to take a far more proactive approach to eliminate sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace before it occurs or risk of being held legally responsible for any acts of sexual harassment in the workplace.
In light of these changes, employers should be moving away from a reactive model of dealing with harassment issues towards a far more preventative approach to all forms of discrimination, harassment and victimisation in the workplace.
This course will touch on the extensive changes employers need to be aware of, providing you with the knowledge to implement key changes and make the process as smooth as possible. A failure to understand and manage this new legislation could result in significant liability for employers.
This course also outlines how certain behaviours can constitute sexual harassment and may be against the law, and addresses how to develop and implement legally compliant and effective employee behaviour policies and procedures to prevent and respond to sexual harassment in the workplace.
