With the rising trend of diverse workforces in Malaysia, employees are increasingly exposed to the likelihood of sexual harassment at the workplace. Statistics show that up to 53% of local workers experience unwanted conduct, yet many incidents go unreported due to embarrassment or fear of inaction. This crucial one-day programme provides the theoretical and practical knowledge needed to identify, prevent, and handle sexual harassment issues. Grounded in the Malaysian Code of Practice on the Prevention and Eradication of Sexual Harassment and a newly proposed amendment to the Employment Act 1955, this course helps organisations cultivate an environment free of harassment, safeguarding employee morale, mental health, and productivity.
