A Reality Check on Sexual Harassment - with Dr Rebecca Michalak

In this episode we chat with Dr Rebecca Michalak, Managing Director of PsychSafe. Rebecca is a sought after consultant in the field of psychological health and safety and regularly shares her expertise at HR/WHS conferences. In this episode we chat with Rebecca about her preference for systemic approaches to psychosocial hazards - particularly when it comes to hazards such as sexual harassment. Listen as Rebecca discusses the shortcomings of admin controls to the prevention of sexual harassment. (According to Dr Beck - policies don't even meet the requirements of an admin control). We also discuss what are the consequences for organisations who do not manage sexual harassment as an occupational hazard - and they are substantial! Rebecca also provides some things to look for in training courses if you want to upskill yourself in the application of psychological health and safety.
