Managing Workplace Behaviours - The right conversation. At the right time. Done well.
Many of your best managers got there by being great at the job — not by being taught how to manage people. When unlawful behaviour surfaces in their team, they’re often the last person equipped to deal with it.
A manager who doesn’t recognise workplace issues or doesn’t know what to do when it’s raised, They’re a personal and organisational liability.
All employers have the responsibility to educate their managers/supervisors about their duty of care to provide a safe workplace in relation to harassment, discrimination, unresolved conflict, and bullying. Employers can minimise their liability by demonstrating they are taking reasonable steps to prevent their employees from doing anything contrary to the Equal Opportunity Act by training those in a position of authority.
In our latest survey, 99% of managers agreed that they were now aware of the responsibilities placed on them as managers and the extra duty of care to create a safe workspace.
Overview
Do you have managers who have been promoted through the ranks but haven’t been taught how to manage effectively? This workshop equips managers to be able to identify when someone has done something unlawful (like discrimination, sexual harassment, and bullying) and what to do about it. In addition to the training, participants will get access to valuable resources via the EEO Compliance Hub.

This course has opened my eyes to what could cause an issue within the workplace not just DVG but anywhere.
Today gave me a better insight as to what the law describes reasonable behaviour.
It was good and informative. Maybe all staff should attend this course to make sure everyone is on the same page on these issues.
Great insight into the legal framework and the responsibilities of Managers/Supervisors in the workplace, and specifically inappropriate behaviours in the workplace.
Very helpful, easy to understand.Practical exercises helpful.Enthusiastic presenter – easy to listen to – engaging.
