For every worker: what sexual harassment is, the employer's positive duty to prevent it, and how to report it or support someone who has experienced it.
Sexual harassment is unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature that a reasonable person would anticipate could offend, humiliate or intimidate. It can be physical, verbal, written or online, and can happen at work events, while travelling and through messages outside work hours. Employers have a positive duty under federal law to take reasonable and proportionate measures to eliminate it, as well as duties under WHS or OHS laws.
This talk explains what sexual harassment looks like, the risk factors in work, what bystanders can do safely, how to report, and that victimising someone who reports is unlawful.
After the session, participants will be able to:
Yes. The slides, handout and guide are editable, and the facilitator guide marks the places to add your own procedures, contacts and photos of your workplace.
No. It is there if your business wants a record that each worker understood the key points. The attendance record on its own shows who attended and when.
Yes. Presentations, guides, workbooks and templates are supplied in editable formats so you can adapt them to your workplace. The copyright notice must stay.
Yes. The hazards and the controls in each toolbox talk apply in any workplace. The duties slide and the facilitator guide's "check before you deliver" table refer to Australian WHS and OHS laws, licences and standards, so a business elsewhere should swap those for its own country's rules. Everything is editable.
Yes. The package includes an editable certificate template, an attendance record (Word, plus an Excel register) and an optional 10-question multiple-choice assessment with an answer key, so you can record who attended and, if you choose, that each worker understood the key points. It is a certificate of completion issued by your business, not a nationally recognised qualification.
Yes. The packages are designed for face-to-face sessions and work over a video meeting platform. The facilitator guide notes where an activity needs adjusting for online delivery.
Yes, as many times as you like, for your own organisation's workers.
