Snooze Respect@Work

In this episode, hosts Nick and Sophie take listeners through an open, honest, and practical conversation about what respect really looks like at work — and why it matters. With a mix of real stories, current legislation, and everyday examples, the episode explores how our behaviours, big and small, shape psychological safety and team culture. From understanding boundaries and consent to recognising bullying, gossip, and subtle disrespectful conduct, Nick and Ruby unpack the moments that often go unaddressed but have the biggest impact. Drawing on the Australian Respect@Work Bill, updates to the Sex Discrimination Act, and Snooze’s internal grievance pathways, the hosts break down what the law requires, what behaviour is expected, and how every person can play an active role in preventing harm. Listeners will hear: What respectful vs disrespectful behaviour looks like in real life How bullying and gossip quietly erode trust and culture The importance of consent and checking in with others The role of bystanders — and why speaking up matters Reporting options, protections, and how to seek support The human impact behind the statistics Practical ways to build a safer, more inclusive workplace every day Nick and Ruby share candid reflections, including moments they got it wrong, froze, learned, or chose to step in — reminding us that respect is something we build together, one action at a time. The episode closes with clear next steps, support resources, and an invitation for every listener to reflect: “What’s one small action you can take this week to help make your workplace safer and more respectful?”
