- Sexual harassment and sex-based harassment can occur in any workplace, regardless of industry, location or size.
- Recent changes to the Sex Discrimination and Fair Work (Respect at Work) Amendment Act 2021 further demonstrate the importance of respect at work and the delivery of legally compliant sexual harassment prevention training.
Why Is Sexual Harassment Prevention Training Important for Managers?

- Sexual harassment in the workplace.

First, best practice respect at work education and training obligations recommend that supervisors, managers and directors undergo additional training on sexual harassment including responding to and preventing incidents of sexual harassment and gender-based harassment in the workplace. Second, your supervisors, managers and directors set the tone for everyone to be treated fairly and respectfully.
