• flexible working arrangements that meet the needs of all employees and create a productive workplace

• grievance handling procedures that are accessible to all employees and deal with workplace complaints promptly, confidentially and fairly

• communication to give employees access to information and allow their views to be heard

• management decisions made without bias

• no unlawful discrimination or harassment in the workplace, and

• respect for the social and cultural backgrounds of all employees and customers.
