Do not leer at or sext your colleagues, Human Rights Commission tells workers
The Australian workforce is being educated on the line between appropriate workplace conversations and sexual harassment in a new advertising campaign from the Australian Human Rights Commission.
The campaign is the first work from recently appointed Sydney creative agency YOLO.
It attempts to explain to workers that texting a colleague is okay, but sexting them is not.
Similarly, looking at a colleague is acceptable, but leering at them is not. And asking to watch their sexual activity might also cross the line, the campaign suggests.
The “Know where the line is” campaign sees the commission partner with the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Australian Council of Trade Unions.
Elizabeth Broderick, Sex Discrimination Commissioner, said: “We have received very positive feedback from workplaces around Australia about how useful Know Where the Line Is in supporting employees to understand sexual harassment and to take bystander action if they see or hear about it in their workplace.
“It is being picked up by many workplaces as part of their broader efforts to prevent sexual harassment in their organisations.”
