Unlawful Workplace Behaviours - Learning where the line is, and what to do about it
If your staff don’t know where the line is, they can’t stay on the right side of it. Discrimination, harassment and bullying thrive in workplaces where people simply don’t know better.
Without a shared understanding of what’s unlawful, harmful behaviour goes unchallenged — and organisations are left managing the consequences of something that was entirely preventable.
All employers have the responsibility to educate employees about their legal rights and responsibilities in relation to harassment, discrimination, and bullying in the workplace. When employees attend this workshop, employers can minimise their liability by demonstrating that they are taking reasonable steps to prevent their employees from doing anything contrary to the Equal Opportunity Act.
Overview
In a unique, fun, interactive approach that has even the toughest audience engaged, your staff will learn what is discrimination, sexual harassment and bullying and examples of non-acceptable behaviours across a broad range of workplace contexts. They will leave better informed of what they can’t do and what the consequences are if they cross the line.
Who is this workshop for?
This workshop is designed to educate ALL employees about their rights and responsibilities under the Equal Opportunity Act and related legislation. If you are new to your organisation or you have never received information about EEO requirements, this course is for you. Regular training on this subject is also recommended and on average should be done every 2-3 years.

“Franca was highly engaging and able to deliver what can often be described as fairly dry/boring content in a really fun and informative way.”
Megs was super fun and presented the course so smoothly and with great skill for engaging the audience.
Meagan was extremely engaging, interactive, very informative and made the session really fun and enjoyable. Kept me engaged the entire time!
Very informative, engaging, and really outlined just how many behaviours are perceived as common but are actually forms of bullying and harassment.
Franca was exceptional at facilitating the workshop. She made the session very informative, engaging and at times funny. I would highly recommend!
