The Australian Human Rights Commission's groundbreaking Respect@Work report from 2020 has led to the introduction of new laws that came into force in December 2022.
This pioneering legislation places a positive duty on employers to take all reasonable steps to eliminate sexual harassment and discrimination.
In this episode, we will delve into the key aspects of this duty and explore how this will impact you, and how organizations can effectively meet these obligations by implementing a comprehensive reporting framework.
