Designed by organisational change experts
Work Respect resources have been authored by organisational change experts to help employers implement holistic changes within their organisation.
By combining evidence-based approaches, practical advice, and actionable tips, these resources offer a framework for understanding, implementing and sustaining whole-of-organisational change. This comprehensive approach acknowledges that addressing workplace sexual harassment requires more than just surface-level solutions—it necessitates fundamental shifts in organisational culture, policies, and practices.
The Work Respect resources serve as invaluable tools for employers looking to create positive and lasting change within their organisations, fostering safer, healthier, and more supportive work environments for all employees.
Where our research comes from
Work Respect is based on the recommendations from the Australian Human Rights Commission Respect@Work: National Inquiry into Sexual Harassment in Australian Workplaces (2020) Report, so employers can feel comfortable they are utilising appropriate tools and relevant training required to comply with the new legislative amendments set down by the Australian Government.
Work Respect organisational resources include specific training for employers and employees developed by experts in instructional design to ensure the training is evidence-based, accessible and presented in a way which ensures an engaging and meaningful experience for board members, senior leaders and all staff. The training has been designed to be delivered online and has been constructed to be time-locked to support holistic organisational change.
