The Human Rights Code is all about respect in the workplace. Come to an all day workshop where we will understand our rights and responsibilities under the legislation, explore real-life vignettes, and identify which behaviours/environments contravene the Code. Dealing with complaints filed at the Human Rights Commission can be a lengthy and costly process and quite disruptive in an organization. Learn management responsibilities and some simple strategies in preventing discrimination and harassment to create a respectful environment in the workplace.

You will learn:

• your rights and responsibilities under legislation
• how to avoid costly human rights actions
• the tools to help create an inclusive workplace

This workshop will consist of short lectures, case studies and quizzes in a format that is highly interactive and informative.
