WORKPLACE TRAINING
Online Bystander Intervention Training for Employees
Empowering people to act when witnessing harmful behavior in the workplace.
Course Overview
Bystander Intervention is an interactive training focused on empowering employees to recognize and defuse potentially harmful situations. The course gives learners a toolkit of safe, effective, and role-appropriate tactics to use in everyday work situations.
Supporting a Positive and Engaging Work Environment
Employees often see the warning signs of harassment and other behaviors in the workplace but do not feel confident enough to intervene or even report it. Through this course’s highly interactive scenarios, employees will practice identifying harmful behavior, overcoming concerns about getting involved, and effectively taking positive action to create an accountable, positive work environment. Bystander Intervention teaches employees:
- Skills to build awareness of situations where intervention is appropriate.
- Confidence to take safe, appropriate action when they witness concerning behavior.
- How to use each type of action in “choose what happens next” video scenarios.
Supporting a Positive and Engaging Work Environment
- Stop harmful behavior: Interrupt or respond to concerning conduct.
- Prevent serious issues: Address disrespectful behaviors before they escalate.
- Create a positive culture: Model organizational values through actions.
Updated Guidance from Chicago
The City of Chicago recently updated guidance on its Sexual Harassment Ordinance to broaden the scope of the mandate to include remote employees located in Chicago and managers who have reports located in Chicago. EVERFI recommends that customers review this new guidance with their legal counsel to confirm their compliance requirements and consider training all employees who work in Chicago, even on an occasional basis -- as well as all managers who have reports located in Chicago -- on both Preventing Harassment and Discrimination for Illinois and Bystander Intervention.
