WORKSHOPS
Workplace training workshops for FIFO and high-risk industries
We deliver half-day and full-day workplace training workshops on sexual harassment prevention, psychosocial safety, respectful workplace communication, and culture change - designed specifically for organisations in mining, resources, construction, and other high-risk industries across Western Australia.
Each workshop is available as a standalone session or as part of a broader organisational program. All delivery is face-to-face and can be conducted on-site, at FIFO locations, or at a venue of your choice.
Preventing sexual harassment in high-risk workplaces
For organisations that want to move from reactive to proactive - before an incident forces their hand.
Sexual harassment doesn't happen in isolation. It's enabled by culture, power dynamics, shift structures, and the assumption that "that's just how it is out here." This workshop addresses the conditions that allow harm to occur - and builds the leadership capability to change them.
KEY OUTCOMES
✔ Understand the specific risk factors that make FIFO and high-risk sites more vulnerable
✔ Recognise how culture, hierarchy, and gender norms drive everyday behaviour
✔ Build practical skills to intervene early, appropriately, and confidently
✔ Strengthen leadership accountability - so managers know what to do, not just what not to do
✔ Align with Positive Duty obligations under the Respect@Work Act 2022
Ideal for leaders, supervisors, and site managers in mining, resources, construction, and remote workforces.
Format: half-day (3–4 hours)
Delivery: on-site or at FIFO locations
This workshop is particularly relevant for organisations in the Western Australian mining and resources sector navigating the Enough is Enough inquiry recommendations and Positive Duty obligations under the Respect@Work Act 2022.
Psychosocial safety & risk: from compliance to culture
For leaders who need to understand what the legislation actually requires - and what it looks like in practice.
The legal landscape has shifted. Psychosocial hazards are now a recognised workplace risk, and organisations have a positive duty to proactively prevent harm - not just respond to complaints. This workshop translates those obligations into practical leadership behaviour and organisational systems, without the jargon.
KEY OUTCOMES
✔ Understand psychosocial hazards and what employers are now legally required to do
✔ Identify the cultural and structural conditions that create or compound risk
✔ Move from a reactive, complaint-driven model to proactive, prevention-focused systems
✔ Align leadership behaviour with both legal obligations and ethical responsibility
✔ Leave with a practical framework to apply immediately within your team or organisation
Ideal for HR managers, HSE teams, senior leaders, executive teams, and boards
Format: half-day (3–4 hours)
Note: pairs well with Workshop 1 for a full-day leadership program
Designed for organisations in Western Australia seeking to meet their psychosocial hazard management obligations under the Work Health and Safety Act 2020 (WA) and align with the model WHS Regulations.
Respect, boundaries & workplace communication
For workforces that need a shared language - and the confidence to use it.
Built from one of Western Australia's largest consent and healthy relationships education programs, this workshop brings evidence-based communication frameworks into the workplace. It gives people practical tools to navigate everyday interactions with clarity, respect, and confidence,
This session deliberately avoids the shame-and-compliance approach. It's honest, engaging, and designed to land with a real workforce - including the people who usually tune out in training.
KEY OUTCOMES
✔ Build a shared understanding of respect, boundaries, and what respectful behaviour actually looks like day-to-day
✔ Recognise the grey areas - the interactions that cause harm even when no one intended them to
✔ Develop practical communication skills for navigating difficult or uncomfortable situations
✔ Strengthen psychological safety so people feel confident speaking up
✔ Create a common framework that teams can reference and build on
Ideal for whole workforce delivery - adaptable in tone for corporate, FIFO, hospitality, and community settings
Format: half-day (3–4 hours)
Differentiator: grounded in over a decade of large-scale behaviour change education.
Delivered successfully in FIFO villages, corporate offices, hospitality venues, and community organisations across Perth and regional Western Australia.
Culture by design: understanding what shapes behaviour
For organisations ready to go beyond awareness and actually shift the culture.
Culture isn't an accident - it's built by what leaders model, what systems reward, and what behaviour gets tolerated. This workshop uses the culture pyramid framework to help teams understand how harmful behaviour develops, why bystanders stay silent, and what it actually takes to interrupt it. The second half moves into practice: building the skills and confidence to call in problematic behaviour in a way that's constructive, not confrontational.
This is the workshop for organisations that are tired of awareness campaigns that don't change anything.
Key outcomes
✔ Understand the culture pyramid - how everyday attitudes and language enable serious harm at the top
✔ Identify the gender norms and power structures that sustain harmful workplace cultures, particularly in male-dominated industries
✔ Understand why bystanders don't act - and what removes those barriers
✔ Develop practical skills to address problematic behaviour early, directly, and constructively
✔ Build a culture of shared accountability where calling it out is normal, not brave
Ideal for leadership teams, supervisors, HR, DEI leads, and safety teams
Format: half-day (3–4 hours)
Note: works well as a follow-on from any of the above workshops
Why it lands: the culture pyramid gives people a framework they can see themselves in.
This workshop is the most requested session for organisations that have already completed awareness training and are ready to move into sustained behaviour and culture change.
All workshops are delivered by qualified health promotion specialists with over 18 years of combined experience in behaviour change, consent education, and workplace culture. We Are Consulting is based in Perth, Western Australia, and delivers programs nationally.
