In Australia, new amendments to the Respect@Work Act, passed into law last year, have become enforcable. On this episode of Dear EQI, we’re joined by gender equality and human rights expert Somali Cerise, and EQI's Research and Evaluation Lead Loksee Leung, to explore the upcoming changes, and what they mean for Australian workplaces. We talk about what it truly takes prevent sexual harassment at work, and how organisations can harness the changes to create positive, inclusive and safe workplace cultures.
