Fostering Respectful and Inclusive Behaviors

Inclusion in the workplace helps to create an environment of respect and acceptance. It fosters a sense of camaraderie and promotes a culture of diversity, openness, and trust.

Taking a proactive approach to ensure everyone feels respected and included, means workplace discrimination, bullying, harassment, and other forms of inappropriate behavior are less likely to occur.

Symmetra provides flexible and comprehensive solutions that not only foster inclusive mindsets and behaviors, but also ensure your organisation has taken the required steps in line with the ‘Respect at Work’ federal legislation to take proactive steps to also ensure your organisation takes the right actions to prevent inappropriate behaviors and manage any issues that might occur in a timely and effective manner.

How Symmetra Helps to Develop Respectful and Inclusive Workplaces

Policy and procedure review

Symmetra offers a complete analysis of human resource policies and procedures to identify practices that are allowing workplace misconduct to continue.

Engaging leadership to build consciously inclusive cultures

Through assessments, training, and coaching we inspire leaders to create workplace cultures that promote equity and support diversity.

Bystander to Upstander training

We help build the capability of leaders and teams to become active allies to everyone around them and speak up against acts of inappropriate behaviors, exclusion and harassment.

Contact Officer training

We offer training that builds the skills of ‘Contact Officers’ to handle workplaces issues effectively and understand how these roles support inclusive and respectful workplaces.

Benefits of a Respectful Workplace

Throughout the years that Symmetra has offered training to curb workplace misconduct, our clients have often reported the following benefits of a discrimination-free workplace:

Reduced absenteeism

A workplace free from discrimination benefits from lower absenteeism. As employees feel secure and respected, they are more inclined to come to work each day.

Decreased turnover

Employees who face discrimination at the workplace and conflicts arising from discriminatory employment practices are more likely to leave than those who feel safe and respected.

Greater collaboration and cooperation between employees

In discrimination-free spaces employees have a greater sense of belonging and can build trust with one another, allowing for collaboration to become more fluid and productive.

Increased productivity

Employees who feel safe at work are more engaged and have a greater interest in contributing to organisational goals, than those experiencing discrimination.

Our Approach

Symmetra’s approach builds an understanding of legal rights and obligations, develops practical skills that prevent misconduct, and helps to create inclusive working environments where all people are treated fairly and with respect.

To do this, we dedicate ourselves to understanding your organisation from top-to-bottom, and then offer customised solutions that address and eliminate implicit and explicit discriminatory behaviors in your workplace. We recognise that every organisation is unique and that they require solutions that are distinctly catered to their needs.
