SmartCulture® Respect@Work Positive Duty Program for Executives / Senior Leaders
With so much change in this space with the new Respect@Work changes, the new positive duty and the increased focus on workplace sexual harassment as a psychosocial WHS hazard, it’s time to overhaul the current approach in Australia from a reactive complaints-based model to the proactive preventative/response model.
The role of senior leaders is critical to making this happen, and education is the first essential step.
About this program
This practical and interactive 1.5-3 hour program covers all of the key areas for Senior Leaders on Respect@Work. It includes a deep dive into understanding, responding to and preventing workplace sexual harassment, the critical link to work health and safety (WHS) and the new AHRC Guidelines to Comply with the Positive Duty.
The key objectives of this program are to provide your senior leaders with current and practical information, real-life case stories, strategies/tools to get everyone focused and pave the way for real cultural change.
FAQs, Topics Covered & Assessment
This program is up-to-date with recent research and cases from Australia and overseas, including information on the emerging role of bystander intervention. The program strongly focuses on prevention – as prevention is always better than cure.

One of the best training sessions I have ever attended
“It’s been such a pleasure working with you and SmartCulture, if I ever need Workplace Bullying / Harassment training or any other training that you offer you will be first on my list of people to call. It was one of the best training sessions I have ever attended, and so many people took valuable lessons away from it. I had the Pool Leisure Coordinator tell me that the attitude changed the next day in his team, it’s been so successful so thank you”.

Entertaining, informative and thought provoking
“Karen Maher from SmartCulture presented a Bullying workshop for all staff at the Shoalhaven Region Anglican Schools which was entertaining, informational and thought-provoking. Included were examples relevant to our workplace and Karen’s attention to detail was meticulous, making sure that the presentation was tailored to our needs. I would thoroughly recommend this presentation for those wishing to deal with the issue of bullying in the workplace”.

Delivered an exceptional program
“At Stedmans, we were looking to improve our workplace culture and introduce a bullying and harassment program for all of our staff. Due to the nature of our business model we needed someone who could drive this and had a solid understanding of the hospitality sector. Karen came to the table with this experience and was able to deliver an exceptional program. Not only does Karen have experience in hospitality and law, she also has a great deal of compassion and is someone I can trust implicitly to deliver an exceptional training product”.
