Meet your workplace culture enthusiast!

Owner and Founder - Roz Taylor

I started Respect at Work almost 8 years ago because our exposure to, and interactions with, work/workplaces/and colleagues should not be harmful. Kinder and more compassionate workplaces equal greater trust, innovation and productivity.

The Respect at Work message is simple; we're all responsible for our workplace culture and everyone has the right to be respected and psychologically safe at work — the foundation for this is good communication.

I have been facilitating discussions about workplace behaviour, appropriate communication, bullying, harassment and discrimination for over 30 years and as a culture enthusiast I love my work. I have had the privilege of delivering 300+ training sessions, working with over 600 workplaces across many industries.

Whether your workplace has some issues or it's currently awesome and you want to keep it that way, I would love to have a chat.

Aw thanks..

Testimonials

“We engaged Roz to upskill and train our entire workforce (white and blue collar) on Respect at Work. Roz helped us keep it simple and worked with us to create bespoke content that fundamentally taught what is it, why is it important and what do you need to do.

Not only was Roz responsive, engaging and creative in her approach but she was committed to traveling to multiple site locations across VIC and NSW to deliver our training. She upheld and delivered on our vision and embodied our business vision and values through the workshops she delivered. We would highly recommend Roz to anyone looking for a fantastic trainer in this space!.”

“As the leading Tasmanian hospitality industry body, we have the benefit of partnering with and importantly utilising the services of the owner and founder Roz Taylor and Respect at Work.

The outstanding delivery provided to the key staff at the THA provided real life and engaging thought provokers as well as providing guidance and tools that can educate and facilitate corrective actions where necessary.

The messaging and takeaways reinforced that all workplaces and staff support the workplace culture whereby all employees have the expectation and right to be respected and free from harassment, bullying and mentally safe in the workplace.

Roz with an excess of 30 years’ experience in all facets of workplace culture including hospitality delivers in a sensitive professional manner that engages all workshop participants. As a professional in this area, I have no hesitation in recommending Roz and Respect at Work should businesses deem it appropriate to have facilitated services delivered in this important area of workplace behaviours and culture.”

“Wow - Roz was fantastic. I immediately connected with some of the principles and examples she provided in the Diversity and Inclusion practice. She was realistic in her delivery, engaging and challenged some of my thoughts and actions.”

“I felt really connected during the respect section of the day, this discussion really resonated with me and brought up some interesting discussions among our group. I'll definitely be adjusting and rethinking my leadership. There were also some really great tools to engage our teams with these concepts.”

“The diversity and inclusion sessions with Roz were really valuable. I made the connection today that I have not be as inclusive with all my managers as I could be. I plan to implement change in this when I return to our team.”

- Various participants, State Service Strategic Management Program

“Thank you Roz for the excellent training provided at our service. I have had great feedback from the team – you were engaging, approachable, very relatable and gave scenarios which helped the team understand the content and the very real-life possibility that any one of these scenarios could happen in any workplace – including ours. We have a diverse team of people of various backgrounds, age, education but the content was presented in a way that everyone could understand and by meeting us where we are at, it makes action achievable.

Thank you for tailoring the course to our needs. I will be spreading the word to other services in the area. All organisations need this training!”

- Hayley Smith, Centre Director, DEBASCA, NSW
