Sexual harassment and positive duty: What employers must do
Complimentary access for NAEN members
Every Australian employer now has a legal obligation to take proactive steps to prevent sexual harassment and related unlawful behaviour in the workplace. This is known as the positive duty, and it applies to all organisations, regardless of size or industry.
Responding to incidents after they occur is no longer enough. Employers must take reasonable and proportionate measures to prevent these behaviours before they happen, or risk significant financial, legal, and reputational consequences.
To help you understand what’s required and how to take meaningful action, watch this on-demand webinar, Sexual Harassment and Positive Duty: What Employers Must Do Now, presented by Australian Business Lawyers & Advisors (ABLA).
This exclusive session is available free for NAEN members through the partnership with My Business.
What you'll learn:
✔ What the positive duty means for your organisation
✔ Why training and prevention, not just response, are now critical
✔ The six practical steps you should be taking to meet your obligations
✔ Practical tools to support compliance, including our Sexual Harassment Toolkit
