Is everyone in your organisation aware of what sexual harassment is? Do they understand what actions to take if they experience sexual harassment directly or witness it as bystanders?
Regular anti-harassment training is essential for protecting employees, members, and everyone in your organisation from harassment. Thoughtful employers understand that effective sexual harassment training is a crucial element in fostering a safe workplace for all. This training serves several important purposes, including education, compliance with laws, and risk mitigation.
Training is vital for any organisation.

Why an anti-sexual harassment policy is important for your organisation?
An employer is responsible for the actions of their employees unless they can demonstrate that they have taken reasonably practicable steps to prevent discrimination and harassment. Implementing an anti-sexual harassment policy allows your organisation to:
- Ensure compliance with legal obligations regarding sexual harassment.
- Address discrimination or harassment issues proactively before they escalate.
- Minimise the time and resources wasted on handling complaints.
- Prevent negative impacts on staff morale and your organisation’s reputation.
- Enhance customer service and improve overall organisational performance and profitability.
- Provide equitable services to all sectors of the community and ensure employee decisions are based on merit.
- Support all individuals in reaching their full potential and maximising their contributions.
- Strengthen your organisation’s image and improve customer relations.
