Many training providers deliver a bland program that ticks a box. Sure, it shows that reasonable steps were taken to prevent sexual harassment and disrespectful behaviour but does it change the culture? This program is run by our Founder Kristyn Haywood who has been a Human Resources Executive herself. She has trained thousands of leaders from Executives right through to junior supervisor. Her entertaining and animated delivery style, together with her extensive first-hand experience makes her the perfect facilitator to run this important program.

We deliver different types of Respect@Work programs depending on your specific requirements. We can tailor a program to suit your culture. We may research your engagement scores, isolate certain problem behaviours and work in a targeted way to eliminate disrespect. We host Respect@Work monthly circles with some clients to practice speaking up against disrespect@work. Speaking up is a habit that can be built with practice.
