Changing Workplace Culture: Being an Active Bystander
Tuesday 18 June | 1-2pm | Law Society House, Brisbane
Empower the legal profession: join our Being an Active Bystander workshop
Are you ready to make a positive impact?
We are running this 1-hour workshop to support people to remove inappropriate behaviour from the legal workplace.
Inappropriate behaviour in the workplace usually fits into three areas: discrimination, sexual harassment, and workplace bullying. In response to recent legislative changes and the Introduction of the Code of Practice “Managing the risk of psychosocial hazards at work” on 1 April 2023 , QLS has developed a scenario based workshop to support people to develop the behaviours of an Active Bystander, to encourage people to call out inappropriate behaviour in a constructive and safe way.
What you will gain from taking part in this workshop:
• Sharpened awareness to recognise inappropriate behaviours of bullying, sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace
• An understanding of the factors affecting the decision to intervene and respond appropriately to inappropriate behaviours
• Active Bystander tools to turn passive observation into action resulting in positive behavioural change
Why attend?
• You will be in a safe environment to explore and hone your knowledge and skills through the use of interactive scenarios and discussions
• You will connect with like-minded individuals who are committed to creating a safe, more inclusive legal profession and community for everyone
