Why this course matters

  • Everyone has the right to work in an environment free from harassment and discrimination
  • Clear policies, training, and safe reporting routes help prevent harm and ensure concerns are addressed
    promptly and fairly
  • Respectful, inclusive cultures improve wellbeing, retention, productivity, and organisational reputation

 

Respectful conduct isn’t just a compliance requirement; it’s a cornerstone of a safe, inclusive, and high-performing workplace. This course helps learners recognise risks, act responsibly, and protect their colleagues and organisation from harm.

  • Overview

    Sexual harassment harms individuals, damages team culture, and exposes organisations to legal and reputational risks. This course helps learners understand what sexual harassment is, how it impacts people and workplaces, and how to respond effectively. It explains the different forms harassment can take — verbal, non-verbal, physical, digital, and indirect — and why intent is not required if behaviour violates someone’s dignity or creates a hostile or offensive environment.

    Learners will explore rights and responsibilities under the law, how employers can create safe reporting routes and investigate concerns, and the steps employees should take if they experience or witness harassment.
