More than 250 Australian business leaders have signed a new guidance report calling for major changes to the way sexual harassment is managed in the workplace.

The Disrupting the System report, launched on Thursday by the Male Champions of Change coalition , is the culmination of two years' work and input from hundreds of male CEOs and board members.

"These issues require the attention of the most senior leaders in organisations and those that fail to heed that message will actually find that there's a level of scrutiny on them that they may not have seen in the past."The MCC made five key recommendations, including treating sexual harassment as a workplace health and safety issue, reducing the use of non-disclosure agreements, and promoting gender equality.

Manafacturing Australia CEO James Fazzino and former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull during a visit to a plant in Brisbane, 2017."I think the report actually takes a very different approach to sexual harassment and it starts by saying firstly what we’ve done in the past hasn’t worked," he said. "What I think is great about it is that it absolutely uses the most current best practice thinking and it distills it into something that’s really practical for organisations to put into place pretty quickly."
