Creating Respectful Teams Through Leadership
This workshop equips people leaders with the knowledge, practical skills, and confidence to create and sustain respectful, safe, and inclusive workplaces. Leaders will strengthen their understanding of their legal and organisational responsibilities while developing the capability to prevent, identify, and respond effectively to inappropriate workplace behaviour.
Participants will develop a deeper understanding of respectful leadership practices, recognise and appropriately respond to bullying, discrimination, harassment, and sexual harassment, and understand the significant impact these behaviours can have on individuals, teams, organisational culture, and performance.
The program explores practical leadership strategies for early intervention, managing difficult conversations, responding to complaints, supporting affected employees, and applying fair and appropriate resolution processes. Participants will also gain a clear understanding of their role in fostering psychological safety, modelling respectful behaviour, and meeting their obligations under organisational policies and relevant workplace legislation.
By the end of the workshop, people leaders will be equipped to build positive team cultures, respond confidently and consistently to workplace issues, and contribute to a workplace where respect, inclusion, and accountability are embedded in everyday practice.
What makes our training stand out?
Using our signature Workplace Reality Theatre training method, we draw on industry and sector-specific case studies, allowing participants to respond to real-time scenarios played out by professional actors. Participants receive feedback from our expert facilitator on how to assess issues that require escalation versus those that can be resolved by providing employees with the right resources.
“We cannot overlook the fact that there is a systemic issue within a department or team when it comes to giving feedback on behaviour or wider performance. It is just not in the DNA of the workplace culture (or within managers) to handle complaints or have difficult conversations in an honest light.”
Stephen Bell, Founder, Non-Executive Director
