Can a simple hug at work become a legal issue?

In this episode, we explore the real-life story of "Mr. A," an employee in New South Wales who offered a friendly hug to comfort a colleague. What followed was uncertainty: could his well-meaning gesture be misunderstood as harassment?

We unpack the legal definitions of sexual harassment and workplace misconduct under NSW law, referencing the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth) and the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 (NSW). Learn what factors courts consider—such as intent, context, and consent—and why a single act may not meet the legal threshold for harassment.

We also share recent workplace cases and prevention strategies for employees and HR managers navigating professional boundaries.
