Employers for a Safe & Respectful Workplace
🚨 Employers, your role in creating a safe and respectful workplace matters.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Employment Relations Act, you're responsible for the well-being of employees, contractors, sub-contractors, and visitors in your workplace.
Here’s what that looks like in action:
✅ Provide a safe and secure environment
✅ Take all reasonably practicable steps to prevent harm—physical or psychological
✅ Actively address health and safety concerns raised by staff
🛑 That includes having clear policies against bullying, harassment, and discrimination—with processes everyone can follow to resolve issues.
To build a respectful workplace culture:
👥 Model respectful behaviour as a leader
🤝 Involve workers in shaping anti-bullying policies
🎓 Offer training and workshops on bullying, harassment, and anti-racism
🧠 Equip managers to intervene early
🗣️ Make reporting options clear—both informal and formal
💬 Nominate a go-to support person, like an HR adviser
Let’s work together to create a workplace where everyone feels safe, heard, and respected.
