Beneath the Surface

In a very special edition of the podcast, Sarah and Danielle sit down with Steve Pearson from Pearson Advisory to explore how to put the bowtie into practice. Steve shares his experience and reflects on his personal journey with understanding the impacts of harassment in the workplace. He provides great insights for industry leaders who are also facing the challenges of a changing workforce and regulatory environment, and how a few small simple steps can have a big impact in making our workplaces safer for everyone.

What considerations can be made in workplace design to reduce opportunity, reduce vulnerability and improve our ability to detect and respond to harassment?
