“… internal costs and time saved by Fisher and Paykel more than satisfied the Return on Investment expectations of the organisation”.
Fisher and Paykel
Sexual harassment affects one in four workers in Australia, making it a serious issue that needs to be addressed. To combat this problem, the Respect@Work Act was introduced, which imposes new responsibilities on managers and employers to prevent harassment in the workplace.
The Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) gained powers in December 2023 to enforce Respect@Work compliance on Australian organisations and investigate, issue notices and penalties on those that don’t.
It’s time to ensure your organisation demonstrates its commitment and establish the necessary safeguards against harassment.
Preventing sexual harassment in the workplace requires more than just training. True prevention requires clear policies, a culture of respect and accountability, and leadership committed to promoting a safe workplace. Addressing underlying attitudes and beliefs is also crucial.
Safetrac’s Respect@Work Toolkit can help you meet your compliance obligations.
Respect@Work Toolkit
To help businesses navigate this complex issue, at Safetrac, we’ve designed a toolkit that can help organisations showcase reasonable measures in preventing sexual harassment within the workplace.
This toolkit will help your organisation:
Comply with new laws.
Educate staff and leaders on new responsibilities.
Showcase your business's investment to protect its brand and reputation.
Be confident to report progress to the Human Rights Commission by December 2023.
