Seyfarth Shaw LLP’s Post

Are your employees talking about the upcoming presidential election? Are your employees sharing their views on the war in Ukraine? Are your employees active on social media and sharing their thoughts on socio-political topics (whether directly or indirectly)? Spoiler alert: The answer to all of these questions is likely yes. Our great trainers at Seyfarth Shaw At Work have designed a brand new training to help you and your managers and employees navigate these landscapes and their impact on your workplace. See the Firm's post below for more information. We've got you on this.

Civility, in and outside of the workplace, is the lubricant that makes interactions pleasant and immediately more productive.

Promoting Dignity at Work 💫 There isn't a place that we can refer to as "The Perfect Work Environment," but perhaps we can live there eventually. Each worker has a right to labour with honour. Everyone benefits when justice and respect are the cornerstones of our workplace. On the other hand, a poisonous atmosphere stunts development, lowers spirits, and impedes advancement for both people and the company. 🔹 Why Dignity Is Important: - Encourages: Workers experience a sense of worth and motivation. - Promotes Innovation: Creativity is encouraged in a happy environment. - Lowers Hiring Cost: Contented Workers Remain on the Job Longer. 🔹 The Price of Toxicity: - Low Productivity: Disengagement and stress erode productivity. - High Cost of Recruitment: Skilled workers go, taking their abilities with them. - Stagnation: A bad atmosphere impedes advancement in general. Create and foster an environment of deference, assistance. Together, we can create a thriving workplace where everyone can reach their full potential. 👑

July 1st was the deadline for workplaces in California to implement a Workplace Violence Prevention Plan (WVPP) as established in Senate Bill 533. Now what? Trainings, committees, policy and forms are all going to be part of a WVPP, but the most important thing is workplace culture. Does your workplace foster civility? Do employees feel like they can approach their supervisors when they feel unsafe? Employers can meet the legal requirements by creating a policy, but creating a civil work environment where employees feel like they can approach management will help create a workplace culture that reduces the risk.

The introduction of the positive duty under the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth) marks a significant change in the way businesses are required to think about, and manage, unlawful workplace conduct. Business owners, board members and senior organisational leaders must be across the changes. Six months into the new regime, it is a good opportunity to reflect on what you and your business are doing, and whether further action is needed. Register today to join my colleague Brigid Emmett for a comprehensive session aimed at upskilling you about the positive duty obligations and, most importantly, giving you practical information about how you and your business can comply.

We have been working closely with our clients to help them understand their positive duty obligations and to design meaningful and relevant prevention and response plans. It is essential that all leaders understand their role to play in preventing sexual harassment and other unlawful behaviours in the workplace. If you are not yet across these legislative changes and what they mean for your business, then this workshop is for you! #positiveduty #sexualharassment #takethelead
