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

Duration: 34 minutes

Overview: This is 'Essentials' course covers equal employment opportunity (EEO) for managers, 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, and what your specific responsibilities and personal liability are as a manager, including the positive duty to proactively prevent discrimination and harassment.

Why is this course important? EEO complaints and grievances carry significant financial, reputational, and personal costs, and can result in personal liability for managers who act outside their organisation's policies and training. Managers are often the first to notice issues as they arise and are expected to act proactively, rather than waiting for a formal complaint before responding.

Suitable for: All managers and supervisors in Australian organisations who need an efficient introduction to their EEO obligations.

Employees who are not in a management role should instead complete Equal employment opportunity (EEO) for employees - Essentials (AU).
