How Bystander Training and Harassment Prevention Work Together
Wednesday, September 10 • 2 – 3 pm ET
Learn ways employees can speak up or step in to stop harassment, support workplace culture and prevent legal risk.
As organizations work to build cultures of respect and accountability, bystander intervention training has become a cornerstone of harassment prevention. Bystander training equips employees to reduce the harm from harassment or to prevent it from occurring entirely — in the moment — without waiting to report inappropriate conduct.
All employees should know how to spot harassment, when intervention is appropriate, how to overcome obstacles that can make intervention seem difficult and how to intervene effectively to reduce the temperature of disruptive workplace interactions.
Join Traliant for this webinar exploring the interplay between harassment prevention and bystander intervention. Our legal experts will examine how giving your employees the skills they need to intervene can strengthen harassment prevention measures, foster a positive workplace environment and protect against liability.
In this session, you’ll learn:
- What bystander intervention is and why it matters.
- Ways employees can speak up or step in to stop harassment, support workplace culture and prevent legal risk.
- How to build a culture where bystander intervention is encouraged and recognized.
By attending the live webinar, you’ll be eligible for HRCI and SHRM credits.
