Workplace Harassment Training - Perth

Workplace Harassment Training - Perth

Ever had that sinking feeling when you witness something inappropriate at work but don't know how to handle it? Or maybe you've been on the receiving end of behaviour that made you uncomfortable, but you weren't sure if it qualified as harassment? You're not alone. Most of us have been there, and it's one of those workplace situations that nobody talks about until it becomes a real problem.

Here's the thing - workplace harassment isn't just about the obvious stuff you see in the movies. It's the colleague who constantly interrupts women in meetings, the manager who makes "jokes" about someone's accent, or the team member who sends inappropriate messages after hours. It can be subtle, persistent, and incredibly damaging to both individuals and teams. And here's what really gets me fired up about this topic: most harassment could be prevented if people just knew what to look for and how to respond appropriately.

I've been training teams on this topic for over fifteen years, and I've seen how a proper understanding of harassment policies can completely transform workplace culture. When people know the boundaries and feel confident about speaking up, you get teams that actually trust each other. People stop walking on eggshells, productivity goes up, and everyone can focus on doing their best work instead of worrying about the next uncomfortable interaction.

The practical benefits are immediate and measurable. You'll learn to recognize the difference between workplace banter and harassment, understand your legal obligations (because yes, there are legal implications for both individuals and organizations), and most importantly, develop the confidence to address issues before they escalate. We'll cover real scenarios that happen in Australian workplaces every day - from the seemingly harmless comments that gradually escalate to more serious situations that require formal intervention.

This isn't about political correctness or walking on eggshells. It's about creating workplace harassment training that actually works in practice. We'll discuss how to have those difficult conversations, when to involve HR versus handling things directly, and how to support colleagues who might be experiencing harassment. You'll also learn about bystander intervention - because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is step in when you see something happening to someone else.

How to identify different types of harassment, including the subtle forms that often go unnoticed
Your rights and responsibilities under Australian workplace laws and company policies
Practical strategies for addressing harassment when you witness it or experience it yourself

The Bottom Line

After this training, you'll walk away with the knowledge and confidence to contribute to a genuinely respectful workplace. You'll know exactly what constitutes harassment, how to respond when you encounter it, and most importantly, how to prevent it from happening in the first place. This isn't just about compliance - it's about creating the kind of workplace where everyone can do their best work without worrying about workplace harassment issues. Your team will thank you for it, and you'll sleep better knowing you're part of the solution rather than part of the problem.
