The Tech Pathfinder Podcast
Welcome to the Tech Pathfinder Podcast, where we explore the impact of technology on the people in your workplace. Each episode is hosted by JP - a tech evangelist and people motivator who has a passion for helping businesses get more out of their technology through their people.
Technology plays an integral part in how businesses of all industries and types are run, and now more than ever their interaction with the people in our workplaces is just as crucial as the interactions we have with each other. The conversations we will bring to you will be centered around how these two things interact, how tech can work for and against us, and what we can learn from these experiences.

Positive Duty in the workplace - Tym Lawrence from RepSafe
The Australian Human Rights Commission's groundbreaking Respect@Work report from 2020 has led to the introduction of new laws that came into force in December 2022.
This pioneering legislation places a positive duty on employers to take all reasonable steps to eliminate sexual harassment and discrimination.
In this episode, we will delve into the key aspects of this duty and explore how this will impact you, and how organizations can effectively meet these obligations by implementing a comprehensive reporting framework.
