Event Description

Sexual harassment in the workplace is not only a legal risk—it is a critical issue that affects employee wellbeing, trust, performance, and organisational reputation. Creating a safe and respectful work environment requires awareness, accountability, and practical action at every level of the organisation.

This one-day Sexual Harassment Prevention Workshop provides employees, managers, HR professionals, and leaders with a clear and practical understanding of sexual harassment, how it occurs, and how it can be prevented and addressed effectively. The programme goes beyond theory by focusing on real-world scenarios, legal responsibilities, organisational policies, and individual responsibilities.

Participants will explore how sexual harassment manifests in modern workplaces, including physical workplaces, remote working environments, digital platforms, and work-related social settings. The workshop also addresses intersectionality, power dynamics, reporting barriers, and the importance of workplace culture in prevention.

This highly interactive session equips participants with the confidence and skills to recognise inappropriate behaviour, respond appropriately, support colleagues, and contribute to a workplace culture built on dignity, inclusion, and respect.
