Employee Workshop for Code of Conduct

All state government bodies and local government bodies and other statutory entities are required to have a code in accordance with the Public Sector Management Act 1994 (WA). Many other organisations also choose to have a Code as part of outlining expectations around workplace behaviours. Educating all employees is a natural progression from creating a Code and one that can bring to life the over-arching principles outlined in the Code.

This course is customised to individual clients to create relevant, engaging content that educates their employees in relation to their organisation’s overarching Code of Conduct.

Ex-Sephora Employee Creates Website Highlighting Bullying Allegations at Company An ex-Sephora employee has levelled bullying allegations against the beauty giant, after publishing detailed reports on incidents at its prominent Highpoint store in Melbourne. The allegations were published to the website ‘Working at Sephora’ by former sales consultant ‘Liam’ and his partner ‘Jack’, who used pseudonyms to retain anonymity.
