Proactive Measures for Workplace Rights in Australia
There is now a positive duty on all employers to take reasonable and proportionate measures to eliminate sexual harassment, victimisation, and sex discrimination!
This means … that employers can no longer ‘turn a blind eye’ or even await a complaint – they must now take the positive step of educating their employees and ensuring this does not occur BEFORE it does. This proactive approach aligns with workplace rights Australia emphasizes, ensuring a safer and more respectful work environment for everyone.
A very welcome improvement for workers’ rights, as outlined in the workplace rights Fair Work Act. Understanding and complying with workplace discrimination laws is crucial for all employers to maintain a fair and just workplace.
