Why Is Sexual Harassment Awareness for Managers Training Important?

Sexual harassment is unlawful, yet it remains common in workplaces. It harms the person targeted, the colleagues around them and the organisation itself, through lost productivity, staff turnover, complaints and reputational damage. Managers sit at the centre of this risk. They set the tone for acceptable behaviour, and they are usually the first person a team member approaches when something goes wrong.

This course is based on New Zealand law and covers the obligations relevant to managers and supervisors in New Zealand workplaces. It should be read alongside your organisation’s own policies and procedures, and any employment agreements or guidelines that apply to the learner’s role.

The steps to eliminate sexual harassment are straightforward to put in place. This course gives managers the understanding to act on them early, before a concern becomes a formal complaint.
