The Australian Human Rights Commission expects employers to satisfy their positive duty to prevent sexual harassment via various channels including building Knowledge through the education of their employees. The Commission expects the following:

“Organisations and businesses support workers (including leaders and managers) to engage in safe, respectful and inclusive behaviour through education on:

– expected standards of behaviour, including actions and attitudes that foster equality and respect

– identifying behaviours that constitute relevant unlawful conduct and the consequences for engaging in such conduct

– their rights and responsibilities in relation to safe, respectful and inclusive workplaces and working relationships. This includes their role in preventing and responding to relevant unlawful conduct.”

This training needs to be delivered on a regular basis, and complemented by a broader strategy to prevent sexual harassment. We believe that Azuhr’s Appropriate Workplace Behaviour (Respect@Work) training programs not only meets, but exceeds the standard set by the Commission.
