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

In addition to the training, participants will get access to valuable resources via the EEO Compliance Hub.

Lisl Van AardeProject Lead – WA Department of Planning

“Really informative and applicable but also scary, so many don’ts! I am acutely aware now, of how many people are unaware of the implications of that which might be considered funny to some but not so much to others, etc.”
