Employees will learn how to recognise common psychosocial hazards, how to support colleagues who may be impacted, and the procedures to follow when reporting issues. This session equips employees with the skills and knowledge to contribute to a safer, healthier workplace. Guided by our expert faciliators, the session clarifies the steps employees should take to report psychosocial hazards in their workplace and support colleagues who may be impacted, including guidance around supporting mental health disclosures.
As part of Australia’s evolving health and safety landscape, addressing psychosocial hazards is not only essential for mitigating risks such as workplace stress, bullying, and harassment but also forms a key compliance obligation under Work Health and Safety (WHS) laws. Equipping your people with the skills to identify and address issues before they escalate ensures you not only meet their legal duties but also promote a healthier, more productive workplace, reducing conduct risks and fostering a positive organisational culture.
This session covers the core causes, issues, and impacts of such behaviour, ensuring employees understand their obligations in maintaining a respectful workplace. Attendees will learn how to report workplace incidents, intervene as a bystander, and prevent harassment, bullying, and discrimination. Backed by Kingston Reid, we ensure our training is legally robust and aligned with the latest legislative changes.
Conduct risks to organisations continue to rise with obligations to proactively eliminate sex discrimination and sexual harassment in line with the new legislative duties imposed by amendments to the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth). It is critical for you to ensure that your workforce have the skills to be able to both identify and deal with cultural issues and inappropriate behaviour.
Designed to reinforce your overall learning strategy to eliminate sex discrimination and sexual harassment in line with the legislative duties imposed by amendments to the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth).
The learning content will be customised to reflect each client’s internal policies and procedures. Generally, the focused learning areas are:
– Appropriate workplace behaviour;
– Discrimination, harassment and bullying; and
– Sexual harassment, sex-based harassment, hostile work environments.
Participants will gain insight into how biases are formed, the neuroscience behind them, and how stereotypes and heuristics influence perceptions. Through practical examples and interactive discussions, employees will develop self-awareness, learn to identify biases and microaggressions, and build strategies to mitigate their effects.
By recognising and addressing bias, employees contribute to a more equitable workplace culture, where diverse perspectives are valued, and everyone can thrive.
A respectful workplace doesn’t just happen, it’s cultivated through awareness, accountability, and everyday interactions. While workplace incivility can seem subtle – an ignored greeting, a sarcastic remark, being left out of conversations – its impact is anything but minor. Over time, these behaviours can harm team morale, increase stress, and create a toxic work environment that hinders collaboration and success.
Through interactive activities, real-life examples, and practical tools, participants will learn how to recognise different forms of incivility, reflect on their own behaviour, and respond to disrespectful conduct in constructive ways. The training also reinforces the importance of empathy, active communication, and shared responsibility in promoting a culture of mutual respect.
