Effective Leadership in Preventing Sexual Harassment

Help your team respond safely and confidently to serious workplace threats. This training builds awareness of high-risk situations and ensures employees understand the correct procedures to follow during emergencies.

Course overview

As a senior leader in hospitality, the way you lead shapes the culture of your venue. Your decisions, behaviour, and responses to issues all influence whether your team feels safe, respected, and supported at work. 

Sexual harassment in hospitality often doesn’t appear through formal complaints. Instead, it can show up in everyday interactions, team dynamics, or behaviours that gradually become normalised during busy services or late-night shifts. 

In this course, you’ll work through realistic hospitality scenarios and leadership decisions that reflect situations you may encounter in your venue. You’ll explore how to recognise early warning signs, manage higher-risk environments, and take practical steps that prevent issues from escalating.

Legal context

Employers have a legal responsibility to prevent and respond to sexual harassment in the workplace. In Australia, this includes obligations under the Sex Discrimination Act 1984, the Respect@Work Act 2022, the Fair Work Act 2009, and the Work Health and Safety Act. These laws require businesses to take proactive steps to protect staff, maintain a safe and respectful workplace and respond appropriately if harassment occurs. For international operations, organisations may also follow guidance from the ILO Convention No. 190, which sets global standards for preventing workplace harassment.
