Safer Workplaces for All: Sexual Harassment
Tackling sexual harassment to create safer, more inclusive workplaces
Businesses have long had a legal responsibility to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace. Since October 2024, employers are now required to take reasonable steps – including training their workforce – to ensure this is the case. However, entrenched attitudes and unconscious behaviours mean that sexual harassment remains a widespread issue. It can manifest subtly or overtly — but its effects are always damaging in terms of morale, productivity and well-being.
This is a practical, interactive, drama-led workshop from Active Training Team designed to equip people across your organisation to take an active role in preventing sexual harassment. It’s emotionally engaging and focused on personal responsibility — helping participants to understand their individual impact and take ownership of the behaviours that shape an inclusive and safe workplace culture.
The Workshop
Delivered in-person by ATT’s experienced facilitators, the 75-minute session uses live drama, shared reflection and practical skills development to create a thought-provoking experience with lasting impact.
The session equips participants with a clear understanding of the legal definition of sexual harassment, the importance of how behaviour is received rather than how it might be intended, and the skills they need to take an active role in preventing it.
Participants leave with:
- A greater awareness of how their actions and words can impact others.
- A personal sense of responsibility for their own actions and for challenging the unwanted behaviour of others.
- Increased confidence to speak up, using respectful and constructive communication.
Organisations progress towards:
- A more respectful and psychologically safe workplace where employees take personal responsibility.
- Positive improvements in morale, productivity and well-being.
- A reduction in incidents and the potential for reputational, legal and financial risk.
Why it works
At ATT, we believe people learn best when they feel it. Our proven approach — using live drama, facilitated discussion and skills practice — creates a safe, emotionally engaging environment that empowers participants to reflect on their behaviour and develop the communication tools they need to drive positive behaviour change.
This is not compliance training — it’s culture change in action.
93% of participants feel confident identifying behaviours that constitute sexual harassment.
94% of participants feel empowered to take appropriate action.
Developed with insight
Created in consultation with employment lawyer and workplace culture strategist Victoria Lewis, co-founder of Odyssey Consulting, the workshop also draws on real experiences shared by women in male-dominated industries. It’s grounded in current research, legal context and lived experience — and can be adapted to suit any workplace setting.
