Take action in your workplace

Every workplace is different, with its own culture, structures and change processes. Workplace Equality and Respect acknowledges this, providing tools that are flexible and adaptive so that you can choose actions that are appropriate for your workplace.

The four-step process

Workplace Equality and Respect tools and resources guide you through an organisational change process to promote and embed gender equality and prevent sexual harassment and gender-based violence including family and domestic violence.

Step 1: Readiness assessment

Assess if your workplace is ready to engage with the Workplace Equality and Respect Standards.
