Transform Your Workplace: Create a Culture of Respect

Builds a psychologically safe, respectful workplace and helps prevent discrimination, bullying and sexual harassment. Team members learn the harm these behaviours cause, then practise role-plays and bystander strategies, and clarify how to report and escalate concerns. The program supports your positive duty under the Respect@Work legislation to prevent sexual harassment, sex discrimination and victimisation.

The natural follow-on from Respect@Work. Staff learn to give and receive high-quality feedback without blaming, defending, justifying or shaming, using constructive language that builds growth and understanding instead of defensiveness. It's highly interactive, with fun role-plays and deep, values-driven discussion. Many participants say it helps in their personal relationships too.

Helps leaders approach performance conversations with clarity, confidence and care. We start by reconnecting leaders with their values, so they see why these conversations matter for wellbeing, service, trust and results, and how avoiding them lets issues grow. Leaders learn to stay calm when people respond with defensiveness, frustration or emotion, while still holding them to account.

Equips leaders to reduce psychosocial risk through everyday leadership behaviour. Grounded in Australian legislation, psychological safety research and neuroscience, it turns evidence into practical tools: regulating under pressure, holding clear conversations, and keeping both safety and operational standards. It's highly interactive and built on real-world scenarios.

 Empowers people to step in safely when they see harassment or bullying. Through role-plays, participants practise communication and de-escalation, learn to spot early warning signs, and use your policies and reporting channels so incidents are addressed and prevented. Everyone leaves with a personal upstander action plan.

Shows leaders and teams how to build an inclusive, equitable workplace for everyone, regardless of gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity, religion or culture. Through courageous dialogue and practical tools, participants learn to recognise and address unconscious bias, stereotypes, prejudice and double-binds. The payoff is greater innovation, efficiency and results.

Respect@Work 2 to 3.5 hour sessions support organisation's to take all reasonable steps to prevent workplace sexual harassment and to comply with new vicarious liability provisions of the Fair Work Act. 

The amendments to the Fair Work Act and Sexual Discrimination Act ultimately mean organisations that fail to take reasonable steps to prevent workplace sexual harassment may be subject to enforcement action and/or civil penalties.

Taking proactive steps to address discriminatory and harassing conduct and tackle problematic cultures will help to create respectful, productive workplaces. We can help you create respectful and psychologically safe workplaces and meet your requirements to prevent psychosocial hazards at work.

Our programs focus on supporting leaders and teams to create a psychologically safe and respectful workplace. They support the organisation to prevent workplace discrimination, bullying and sexual harassment by helping team members understand the harm those behaviours cause. Our programs provide practical role-plays, bystander strategies and clarification of the reporting & escalation process. 

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. 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.
