"This training cannot be a tick box exercise and the organisation must ensure it recognises the importance of providing appropriate and regular training on this policy." "A positive culture is one of openness where people’s talents and contributions are recognised. It is also where employees are comfortable raising issues of concern to them, especially of inappropriate behaviours and where there are supportive, effective and fair processes underpinning this in place.
