Overview

It's time for a more effective way to prevent workplace sexual harassment. With the introduction of the Worker Protection Act and the new duty on employers to take ""all reasonable steps"" to prevent workplace sexual harassment, organisations are under increasing pressure to demonstrate meaningful action. But policies, reporting procedures, and zero-tolerance statements alone will not create the change that is needed. Preventing workplace sexual harassment requires a deeper understanding of behaviour, culture, and organisational psychology. In All Reasonable Steps, Dr Nina Burrowes presents a psychologically grounded approach to prevention that moves beyond compliance-led thinking. Drawing on more than twenty years of expertise in sexual violence prevention, workplace culture, and behavioural science, she explores why workplace sexual harassment happens, why many current approaches fail to create lasting impact, and what organisations need to do differently if they are serious about prevention. This is not a checklist or a quick-fix guide. Instead, it offers leaders, HR professionals, managers, and organisations a new framework for thinking about prevention. The book is rooted in behavioural science, organisational insight, and meaningful culture change. Through practical examples, psychological insight, and strategic reflection, Dr Burrowes shows readers how to: Understand the behavioural and cultural drivers of workplace sexual harassment Recognise the limitations of traditional compliance-based approaches Build organisational capability for meaningful prevention Create safer workplace cultures through leadership, psychology, and behaviour change Meet the growing expectations placed on employers under the law Sexual harassment prevention starts with psychology. This book shows organisations how to use it to create real impact and lasting change. Perfect for: HR leaders and professionals Managers and senior leaders Organisational development and culture specialists Diversity, equity and inclusion professionals Anyone responsible for workplace culture, behaviour, and prevention strategy
