Sexual harassment can happen at any organization – and it should never be tolerated. And while there is no one, single correct way to be an ally to targets of harassment, with proper bystander intervention training, employees can respond effectively. And when they do, they can help prevent and stop sexual harassment before it escalates. 

 NAVEX’s Bystander Intervention course was designed as a solution for the City of Chicago’s bystander intervention training requirement, but it can be used by employees everywhere. After establishing how to recognize the various forms of harassment, employees will learn best practices for responding – both in the moment and afterward – to sexual harassment they witness, as well as supporting targets and reporting inappropriate behavior. There is also a module dedicated to bystander intervention in digital environments. The course concludes with a series of real-world exercises that apply the information contained in the course.

Employees are in a position to stop to sexual harassment. However, they need the tools to do that. Bystander intervention training can lead to a safer, more professional workplace for everyone.
