Premium Workshop: Respect in the Workplace

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.

You will learn:

• 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.
