At Gallagher, we believe that respectful workplaces are the foundation of a productive and thriving team. Taking action now is more important than ever. Amendments in legislation have imposed legal obligations on organisations to proactively implement control measures to create a workplace free from sexual harassment and sex/gender-based harassment.
Providing support at every stage
Training and education
Gallagher's workplace behaviours awareness training raises understanding about workplace bullying and harassment, empowering individuals and organisations to take a stand against these detrimental behaviours. Our two hour course is facilitated by our expert team and is developed to engage participants with a series of practical scenarios, interactive discussions and Q&As to give participants the confidence to manage any future situations.
Prevention plan
Like managing other workplace health and safety risks, some states now require a risk assessment, prevention methods and response plan to address risks of sexual harassment and sex/gender-based harassment.
Ensuring your compliance to this change is critical as penalties apply for failure to prepare and implement your plan. Our compliance pack is expertly crafted by our team to identify risks and ensure your organisation meets its legal obligation.
Included in our compliance pack:
- Management guidelines on risks and prevention methods — Our management guidelines contains a detailed report on the key risks of sexual harassment and gender discrimination and prevention methods that can be implemented. This will guide your risk assessment, helping you identify and mitigate occurrences. It serves as training guide for your leadership team to effectively communicate and prevent potential risks. It also provides a clear process for addressing and reporting risk and has information on ideal investigation practices and how to provide support to victims.
- A risk assessment template — Our risk assessment template is pre-populated with potential risks for a business. It will identify any risks, how serious that risk is and guidance on how to align the risk to your organisations' prevention methods. Once completed, it can be directly implemented in your prevention plan.
- A prevention plan — The prevention plan outlines rights and responsibilities and includes a comprehensive action plan for reporting and investigating complaints.
