Respect@Work and Psychosocial Hazards: From compliance to demonstrated prevention
It has been several years since the Respect@Work reforms commenced.
Most employers have developed policies, delivered training and established reporting pathways. But if a regulator walked through the door tomorrow, could you demonstrate that your organisation has taken reasonable and proportionate measures to prevent unlawful conduct, manage workplace risks and protect workers' wellbeing?
The question is no longer whether you have a policy or conducted your training. The question is whether you can demonstrate that you've prevented the risk.
This practical webinar will help employers assess their progress against the Australian Human Rights Commission's Positive Duty Guidelines and explore the growing intersection between Respect@Work obligations and psychosocial hazard management.
We'll discuss what regulators are looking for, how to move beyond policies and training to demonstrated prevention, and the practical steps employers can take to strengthen their compliance framework.
