Defence’s standing approach of zero tolerance towards sexual harassment in the workplace is now being applied across the corporate world due to a combination of social change and new legislationSummary
Elizabeth Knight writing for the Sydney Morning Herald makes these points about sexual harassment in the corporate world:
- Companies are doing more to address sexual harassment and misconduct.
- Advertisers don't want to promote products associated with antisocial behaviour.
- Younger workers won’t put up with toxic workplace culture and are willing to take action against harassment.
- Employers have recognised that a healthy and safe working environment is vital to attract and hold staff.
