Respect@Work: Positive Duty, Psychosocial Hazards & Workplace Behaviour

Respect at work is no longer just a “nice to have”.
It’s a legal, cultural and leadership responsibility.

This workshop helps leaders understand their obligations under the Respect@Work reforms, including positive duty, sexual harassment prevention, psychosocial hazards and the practical steps organisations need to take to create safer workplaces.

We cover:

• What positive duty means in real workplace terms
• Sexual harassment, discrimination and harmful workplace behaviour
• Psychosocial hazards and employer obligations
• The connection between culture, leadership and risk
• Why policies alone won’t meet the standard
• Practical steps leaders can take to prevent harm
• How to move from reactive complaints handling to proactive prevention

 

This session is designed for business owners, managers, committee members and leaders who need clear, practical guidance without the legal overwhelm.

Because respectful workplaces don’t happen by accident.
They’re shaped through standards, behaviour, systems and leadership.

Best suited to: SMEs, not-for-profits, local government, committees, boards and regional organisations.

 

Hire Smarter, Lead Stronger

Recruitment is one of the biggest business decisions you make.
Yet too many organisations still hire reactively, rely on gut feel, and hope the right person appears.

This workshop explores what intentional recruitment actually looks like in practice.

We cover:

• Understanding your Employee Value Proposition
• Identifying the behaviours, strengths and traits needed for success
• Candidate personas and future workforce capability
• Behavioural interviewing techniques
• Recruitment processes that strengthen culture instead of damaging it
• How leadership directly impacts attraction and retention

This session is ideal for leaders who are tired of poor hires, constant turnover, and recruitment processes that feel like guesswork.

Best suited to: SMEs, local government, not-for-profits and growing teams.

 

Making Work, Work

A workshop focused on the everyday employee experience.

Not the polished employer brand version.
The actual lived experience of work.

Designed specifically for Chambers of Commerce, economic development organisations and regional business communities, this workshop helps business owners and leaders better understand the connection between people, leadership and business performance.

Because many leaders genuinely care about their people…
but no one has ever shown them how workplace culture, communication, leadership and systems shape the employee experience underneath the surface.

This session explores:

• What employees need from leaders to stay engaged
• Why clarity and communication matter more than leaders realise
• The connection between systems, leadership and workplace culture
• The small moments shaping retention, trust and morale
• How workplaces unintentionally create frustration and disengagement
• Practical ways to improve connection, accountability and experience
• Why employee experience directly impacts attraction, retention and regional workforce sustainability

 

This workshop helps leaders step back and properly examine:
“What does it actually feel like to work here?”

 

The Cupcake Theory – Why Perks Aren’t Giving You ROI

Friday BBQs are nice.
So are birthday cakes and branded water bottles.

But if the fundamentals underneath work are unstable, employees experience those things exactly as they are: surface-level extras.

This workshop explores:

• Why engagement is driven by structure, not perks
• The psychology behind motivation at work
• Self-Determination Theory and what humans actually need to thrive
• Gallup Q12 engagement insights
• Why some workplaces feel energising while others drain people
• The hidden cost of getting culture wrong

 

This is one of those workshops where leaders quietly realise:
“Holy shit… that’s us.”

Practical, honest, slightly confronting in the best possible way.

 

Generations @ Work

Every generation thinks the others are difficult.

In reality, most workplace tension comes from assumptions, communication gaps, unclear expectations, and completely different experiences of work.

This workshop helps teams better understand:

• Different generational perspectives and motivators
• Communication styles and friction points
• Workplace expectations across generations
• Leadership approaches that create connection instead of division
• How to stop “generational conflict” becoming workplace culture

 

This session is balanced, practical and grounded in real workplace dynamics, not stereotypes and eye-rolling LinkedIn takes.

 

HR for Non-HR People

Leadership now comes with people responsibility whether you expected it or not.

This workshop gives managers, coordinators, supervisors and operational leaders practical HR understanding without drowning them in legislation and jargon.

We unpack:

• The fundamentals of employment obligations
• Performance conversations and accountability
• Managing workplace behaviour and conduct
• Documentation that actually protects your business
• Psychosocial hazards and positive duty obligations
• Understanding the difference between a people issue and a system issue

 

The goal isn’t to turn leaders into HR professionals.
It’s to give them enough confidence, clarity and structure to lead people properly.

 

Intentional Recruitment

Good recruitment isn’t luck.
And it definitely isn’t posting a job ad and hoping for the best.

Intentional recruitment is where strategy meets people.

This workshop helps organisations move beyond reactive hiring and build recruitment processes designed to support long-term business goals, culture and capability.

We cover:

• Understanding your Employee Value Proposition
• Identifying the capability your organisation actually needs
• Building candidate personas around behaviours, strengths and values
• Behavioural interviewing techniques that make the right people easier to spot
• Recruitment processes that improve candidate experience
• Hiring for both performance and culture contribution
• How poor recruitment decisions impact engagement, retention and leadership

 

The session is practical, commercially grounded and designed for leaders who want recruitment to become a genuine business lever instead of an exhausting cycle of turnover and compromise.

Because future-focused organisations don’t just hire to fill vacancies.
They hire with intention.

 

Employer & Employee Brand

Your employer brand exists whether you intentionally shape it or not.

It’s built through recruitment experiences, leadership behaviours, communication, onboarding, workload, flexibility, word of mouth, and what employees say when they leave.

This workshop explores the connection between external brand perception and the internal employee experience.

We unpack:

• What an employer brand actually is
• Why employees are now your biggest marketing channel
• The gap between employer messaging and lived experience
• Candidate and employee expectations in today’s workforce
• How culture, leadership and systems shape reputation
• Why attraction and retention are deeply connected
• The role social media, online presence and employee advocacy now play

 

Because the strongest employer brands aren’t built through polished recruitment campaigns.

They’re built through workplaces that people genuinely want to talk positively about.

This workshop is ideal for organisations, Chambers of Commerce, economic development organisations and regional business communities wanting to strengthen attraction, retention, engagement and reputation in increasingly competitive labour markets.
