Respect at Work (Free Webinar)

As you are aware, in recent years there have been ongoing reforms and much commentary around Respect@Work. Led by the Australian Human Rights Commission and Respect@Work Council there has been an evolving list of ideas around “best practice” for an employer when it comes to Respect@Work.

Whilst the focus has been on individual and organisational rights and responsibilities when it comes to sexual harassment in the workplace, we understand that Respect@Work is more far-reaching than sexual harassment training alone. In fact, sexual harassment is one component of a broader workplace relations and safety program when it comes to an employer’s obligation to create a safe, inclusive, and respectful workplace.

We invite you to our upcoming information session, where Nade Petreska from Mills Oakley will provide commentary on what is Respect@Work, and how to adopt a pragmatic and legally sound approach to meeting what is now being referred to as “best practice”.

Benefits of attending the information session:

• a better understanding of Respect@Work website guidelines
• awareness of the positive legal duty on all employers under the Sex Discrimination Act 1984
• learn to take "reasonable and proportionate measures" to eliminate unlawful sex discrimination, including sexual harassment, as far as possible.
