Actions and example activities
Organisations will implement actions in ways that suit their own context. Example activities provide guidance.
3.1 Organisations have safe, accessible, flexible and inclusive work environments, policies and processes.
Example activities

This includes guidance on navigating unfamiliar or difficult conversations.
3.2 Executives and managers are capable and accountable for providing safe and inclusive work environments and addressing negative behaviours.
Example activities

3.3. Executives and managers recognise and engage the expertise of diverse employees and staff-led networks.
Example activities:
