Bystander Intervention Training
Bystander Intervention Training
Give employees practical ways to step in and support a colleague
A conversation takes an uncomfortable turn. An employee notices a colleague being singled out. Someone in authority makes an inappropriate remark.
The witness wants to help. Choosing how to respond is the difficult part.
SucceedLEARN's Bystander Intervention Training helps employees prepare for these situations. The online course brings together recognition, practical response strategies and opportunities to exercise judgement through workplace scenarios.
Learners explore how to interrupt concerning behaviour, involve an appropriate person or offer support afterwards. They also consider when a direct response may be suitable and when another approach would be safer.

Is this course suitable for employees who are new to the subject?
Yes. The course introduces sexual harassment recognition, the bystander effect and intervention strategies. It provides a starting point for employees who want to understand their options when witnessing concerning behaviour.
