Workplace Training
Our programs have been developed to identify primary issues for vulnerable workers, utilising intervention and prevention strategies to promote a positive and supportive workplace.
Our goal is to provide workplaces with the practical tools to support their staff through training, policy development and ongoing consultation.
Our training packages range from 1.5 hours – 3 hours, can be tailored to suit your organisational needs and most can be delivered virtually when face-to-face learning is not essential. Our workshops are for all staff but can be adapted specifically for managers, executives, site leaders, contact officers, or volunteers.
This training package has been developed in consultation with the Aboriginal Legal Rights Movement specifically for South Australian Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation Network (SAACCON) members. It is also available for organisations with a high proportion of First Nations workers.
The ‘Recognising and Preventing Sexual Harassment and Sex Discrimination in the Workplace (SAACCON & First Nations Organisations)’ training is designed to assist organisations to understand the new employment laws in relation to sexual harassment that now places a “positive duty” on employers and organisations to prevent sexual harassment and sex discrimination from occurring in the workplace. The new legislation has the effect that businesses and organisations may be liable for sexual harassment if they cannot show that they have taken steps to prevent it from occurring.
This package will equip organisations with the ability to identify and respond to sexual harassment. It will provide organisations with a comprehensive understanding of the “positive duty” and what steps to take to fulfil the legal obligation.
Through critical discussion, practical learning, and group work, participants can expect to achieve the following outcomes:
