Bystander Intervention

There has been an increasing spotlight on creating a safe, equitable, and respectful workplace culture. The law mandates training on identifying and reporting sexual harassment, but often the role and responsibility of the bystander isn’t addressed. In this workshop participants will:

• Define “diffusion of responsibility” and why it’s important to stand up for fellow colleagues.
• Identify potentially harmful interactions along a continuum of behaviors.
• Define the “Direct, Distract, Delay, Delegate” model for choosing how to intervene when intervention is necessary.
• Understand barriers to using bystander intervention and develop solutions to overcome them.
• Practice applying bystander intervention tools in a variety of different scenarios.
