Equal employment opportunity (EEO) for employees - Essentials (AU)

Duration: 26 minutes

Overview: This is an Essentials course covering equal employment opportunity (EEO) for employees, in line with Australian federal and state legislation. You'll learn what EEO means, how to identify direct and indirect discrimination, and what protected attributes, reasonable adjustments and legal defences apply in the workplace. You'll also learn how internal and external EEO complaints are handled, so you know what steps to take if you experience or witness unlawful discrimination.

Why is this course important? EEO complaints and grievances carry significant financial, reputational and personal costs, and everyone in an organisation has a role to play in preventing discrimination and knowing how to raise concerns appropriately. Understanding your rights, and the process for raising a complaint, helps ensure issues are addressed quickly and fairly.

Suitable for: All employees and workers in Australian organisations who need an efficient introduction to their EEO rights and responsibilities.
