Overview
The Bystander Effect and Bystander Intervention Training
The term bystander intervention refers to situations where someone who isn’t directly involved steps in to assist someone who may be at risk. Equipped with the right knowledge, intervention techniques and motivation, active bystanders can defuse potentially harmful situations and support co-workers, who are targets of sexual harassment, discrimination and other unacceptable behaviors.
Bystander intervention training is a core component of an effective compliance training program to address workplace misconduct and prevent future incidents. In addition, training provides an interactive learning experience that reinforces policies and reporting procedures and underscores the organization’s commitment to create a safe, respectful and inclusive work culture.
