Learning Outcomes
Gain a thorough understanding of the Worker Protection Act 2023 and its significance.
Learn that sexual harassment includes any unwanted conduct of a sexual nature that violates an individual’s dignity or creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating, or offensive environment. This can include verbal comments, non-verbal gestures, and physical actions.
Understand the new legal obligations for employers, including the duty to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment. This includes proactive measures rather than just responding to complaints.
Identify various scenarios where the Act applies, such as workplace interactions, offsite work, training sessions, conferences, and social events. The Act also covers harassment by third parties like clients or customers.
Learn strategies to anticipate and mitigate situations where workers might be exposed to sexual harassment. This includes conducting risk assessments, implementing clear policies, and providing regular training.
Understand the potential financial consequences for non-compliance, including increased compensation awards by up to 25% if an employer fails to take reasonable steps to prevent harassment.
Explore the specific preventative measures employers must take, such as creating a zero-tolerance culture, providing training, establishing clear reporting mechanisms, and regularly reviewing and updating policies.

The purpose of your training is learning new skills and/or changing behaviour. We can help you measure this!
Post-course, to evaluate how successfully the attendees are doing this, delegates can attend a Workplace Implementation session during the skills transfer period. This additional session lasts for 2.5 hours.
During the Workplace Implementation session the individuals will either on a 1-2-1 basis or as a group discuss the challenges and successes they have experienced during their skills transfer period.
This will include what they are doing differently as a direct result of the training and how this has positively impacted the organisation.
This is an excellent way to encourage the learning, support the skills transfer into the workplace and act as a measure to evaluate the training.
We compile this information into a report so that you have evidence of your return on investment.
