This course includes sexual harassment and anti-bullying training, and also brings together the concepts and tools of breach prevention, with an aspirational push for schools and other organisations to create and promote their own diverse and inclusive cultures.
The Australian Government Respect@Work legislation is now in force.
It contains prohibitions on anyone subjecting an employee to a hostile workplace environment on the grounds of sex.
It also imposes a positive duty on employers to take reasonable steps to eliminate sex discrimination, sexual harassment, hostile workplace environments and victimisation as far as possible.
We have updated our modules 1, 2 & 3 to reflect the Respect@Work requirements, so you can be sure your staff, people managers and volunteers are properly trained to comply.
Changing workplace cultures by changing behaviours
The consequences of workplace bullying, discrimination and harassment have never been more widely known.
Bullying, discrimination and sexual harassment can harm individual’s mental health and safety. They can lead to heavy costs for schools, including reputational damage, compensation orders and high staff turnover.
What should you do if you see a colleague being bullied? Where does flirting stop and harassment begin? How do you prevent uncomfortable or unsafe situations from taking place?
Anyone can be a victim, perpetrator or bystander, and everyone has a role to play in creating a workplace culture where diversity is valued, and individual dignity is respected.
This workplace behaviours training course provides tools for learners to recognise and prevent unacceptable behaviour, and outlines practical support for individuals who experience bullying, discrimination or sexual harassment.
Modules specifically designed for staff with people management roles focus on strategies and procedures for managing incidents.
The training also explores how becoming aware of our unconscious biases, developing our cultural competence and promoting accessibility can make our workplaces truly diverse and inclusive.
Unconscious Bias
We also offer standalone training on unconscious bias to help you and your staff recognise and analyse your unconscious biases, in order to deliver fairer and more reasonable outcomes and to create an inclusive organisational culture.
