Harassment Training for Managers – 1 Day
Empower your managers with the confidence and legal awareness to prevent, recognise and respond to workplace harassment.
Understand new legal requirements, identify harassment, establish reporting mechanisms, handle complaints sensitively, and create a fair and accountable culture.
Want to create a zero‑tolerance workplace culture built on respect, openness and accountability?
This one‑day Harassment Training for Managers is designed for supervisors, team leaders, first‑line managers and senior management teams who play a critical role in preventing workplace harassment and responding appropriately when concerns arise.
Managers will learn best‑practice prevention strategies, how to handle complaints sensitively and fairly, and how to create a supportive, respectful workplace culture that reduces legal risk and strengthens compliance.
Learn how to prevent all harassment types at work and promote a positive, inclusive and respectful environment.
Why is Harassment Training for Managers Important?
From October 2024, the Worker Protection Act 2023 mandated employers to actively prevent workplace sexual harassment.
This not only ensures legal compliance, but also boosted productivity, morale, and company reputation. By equipping managers to handle sensitive issues professionally, businesses reduced legal risks and enhanced overall performance.
