Tasmanians learn where to draw the line in the workplace

Maintaining a healthy environment at work often involves sharing the occasional laugh with a
colleague, but what happens when the line is crossed?

As part of WorkSafe Tasmania Month, Louise Adams from the Office of the Anti-Discrimination
Commissioner will present Workplace behaviour: ‘where is the line?’, a free information session that
answers the difficult question of what is and what is not appropriate behaviour in Tasmanian
workplaces.

“Essentially, people should never feel vulnerable or uncomfortable in a work environment because
of the behaviour of their colleagues,” Ms Adams said.

“Most work related staff complaints derive from behaviour deemed out of line by the reciprocator,
without the knowledge of the instigator.

“In Workplace Behaviour: ‘where is the line?’ we will explore what below the line behaviour is, how
to proactively avoid crossing the line, and positive steps to take when the line is crossed.”
