KEEP IT DECENT GUIDELINES RELEASED

It’s a sad fact that discrimination, sexual harassment and bullying are still common workplace behaviours. Close to a third of people working in the construction sector in the last five years have experienced at least one form of sexual harassment and around the same amount have experienced racial harassment, according to new Keep it Decent Guidelines from Trade Careers.

When it comes to bullying, 17 percent of people working in construction sector have ‘often’ or ‘always’ experienced at least one workplace bullying behaviour in the last 12 months—and men accounted for 73% of those identified as the perpetrators of bullying.
