What steps can I take to eradicate direct and indirect discrimination from workplace practice?
• promote your commitment to eliminating discrimination and harassment • provide information to all staff about their rights and responsibilities regarding discrimination and harassment • help to ensure merit is the basis of all recruitment, selection and promotion procedures by identifying, recognising and accepting skills and experience gained overseas • integrate cultural diversity principles into corporate planning, policy and business frameworks and training • adopt a plain English policy – this will provide staff with increased access to information, workplace documents, training and safety procedures and will improve workplace communication • ensure staff from culturally diverse backgrounds are adequately consulted and represented in key processes in the agency such as policy development, restructures, enterprise bargaining processes.
