Preventing and Responding to Workplace Sexual Harassment Conference (42940228)

Workplace Sexual Harassment Conference focuses on latest legal obligations and workplace practices in preventing and responding to sexual harassment in the workplace.

Description

Workplace sexual harassment is widespread. According to the Australian Human Rights Commission 39% of women and 26% of men have experienced sexual harassment at work. In recent years #MeToo social media campaign has highlighted in recent years is the prevalence of workplace sexual harassment.

The substantial costs to Australian employers include financial impacts in terms of lost productivity, staff turnover and a negative impact on workplace culture, bad press, as well as the significant costs associated with responding to complaints, litigation and workers’ compensation.

The recent exposure of a toxic workplace culture in Australian workplaces has brought attention to the importance of effective employee behaviour policies and training. The 2020 Respect@Work Report recommendations and Morrison Government’s long-awaited response has again put workplace sexual harassment under the spotlight on employers’ obligations.

We are delighted to announce Thomson Reuters’ Workplace Sexual Harassment Conference to be held in October 2021 in Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, and Perth and livestreamed.
