Why Is Respect@Work Training Important for Managers?

Respect@Work training for managers addresses the unique responsibilities of leaders and empowers them to create workplaces that are safe, inclusive and compliant with the positive duty obligations under the Sex Discrimination Act 1984. Supervisors, managers, and directors act on behalf of you as an employer and have a positive duty to eliminate, as far as possible the unlawful behaviour of
sexual harassment in the workplace.

Respect@Work training:

• Aims to identify and eliminate sex-based harassment in the workplace
• Aims to identify and eliminate conduct that contributes to a hostile workplace on the grounds of sex
• Aims to identify and eliminate discrimination on the grounds of sex
• Supports legal compliance
• Provides managers with the tools and strategies to handle complaints, support victims and implement policies that promote safety and respect.

Workplace sexual harassment and discrimination is a pervasive issue affecting all industries and levels of employment. Employees and employers have a responsibility to prevent sexual harassment and promote a safe and respectful workplace culture. Respect@Work training ensures managers clearly understand their responsibility to do the right thing when it comes to preventing and responding to incidents of sexual harassment at work, what constitutes sexual and gender-based harassment in the workplace, and the laws that prohibit such behaviour.
