‘Our results indicate CEOs and boards can play more of a role’: New workplace data shows cultural change needs to come from the top
Australian workplaces have taken positive steps to address sexual harassment and discrimination in 2024, but there’s more work to be done.
This is according to new results released today by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA), which provides the first look at how successfully employers are implementing initiatives to provide a safe workplace, since the introduction of the positive duty rules.
The WGEA crunched data about prevention and response to sexual harassment in 2024 from more than 7,000 medium and large employers, covering more than 5 million Australian employees.
