Section 1: Introduction • the ASX Corporate Governance Council introduce sexual harassment indicators for ASXlisted entities to report against • industry educational bodies, in consultation with the Workplace Sexual Harassment Council, develop accredited education and training for individuals who are responsible for advising employers on addressing workplace sexual harassment • the Commission, in consultation with the Workplace Sexual Harassment Council, develop a set of good practice indicators for measuring and monitoring sexual harassment. Industry-based approaches While the 2018 National Survey showed that workers across all industries and sectors experience sexual harassment, those industries with the highest reported rates of sexual harassment are placing workers at higher risk and demand urgent attention. Some industries are alert to these risks and are already actively collecting evidence and information to inform prevention initiatives and responses. Industry, profession and sector-wide initiatives play an important role in addressing the specific drivers and responses to sexual harassment. These may include action plans, campaigns, programs and codes of practice. 36 Professional registration, rules and codes, which underpin many licensing and accreditation schemes, are also helpful avenues for holding professionals to account for sexual harassment in the workplace. The benefit of these structures for employers is that they are already in place and are therefore aligned with industry drivers, and are simple and efficient. Resources The Commission heard that employers of all sizes want to take effective steps to address sexual harassment. The size and resources of an employer affects their ability to take these steps. Employers of all sizes have asked the Commission to provide guidance on best practice through this Inquiry, and also for direction to costeffective and timely tools and resources to assist them. The Commission recognises the importance of providing clear and practical resources in the seven domains to assist: • workers to understand their legal rights, responsibilities and options in relation to workplace sexual harassment • business owners and employers to understand the causes of sexual harassment, how to prevent it, and how to respond to it in a way that minimises harm to workers and also ensures they meet their legal responsibilities. These resources must be clear, practical, victim-centred, easily accessible from a central location and widely publicised.
