Description

The Equal employment opportunity (eeo) and anti-discrimination – Live Virtual / Face to Face Delivery program supports Diversity in the workplace which means having employees from a wide range of backgrounds. This can include having employees of different ages, gender, ethnicity, physical ability, sexual orientation, religious belief, work experience, educational background, and so on.

In Australia, national and state laws cover equal employment opportunity and anti-discrimination in the workplace. You’re required by these laws to create a workplace free from discrimination and harassment. It’s important that as an employer, you understand your rights and responsibilities under human rights and anti-discrimination law. By putting effective anti-discrimination and anti-harassment procedures in place in your business you can improve productivity and increase efficiency.

The Australian Human Rights Commission has a range of fact sheets to help you develop effective policies and best practice guidelines. The Fair Work Ombudsman also provides education and assistance for employees and employers on preventing discrimination in the workplace.

EMPLOYING STAFF FAIRLY

Taking on people facing barriers to employment is often overlooked by employers and can be a useful way of diversifying the skill set within a business. There are funding and incentive schemes available for businesses that support people with a disability, Indigenous Australians, the long-term unemployed and the mature-aged. Use Grants & Assistance to help you find the most relevant incentives and support to your business. The Australian Human Rights Commission also offers best practice guidelines for recruitment and selection to help you recruit in a fair and discrimination-free way.
