Description:
Harassment and discrimination not only affect individuals but can erode team performance, morale, and the bottom line. This module connects human experiences to business outcomes, including productivity, turnover, and brand reputation. You will explore metrics and practical approaches to mitigate harm while driving a positive culture.
The course integrates research-backed insights with scenario analyses to help you translate awareness into measurable improvements.
Bystander intervention principles
As a bystander, you can play a key role in stopping harassment. Interventions should be safe, respectful, and focused on the behavior, not the person. If you feel unsafe, seek help from a supervisor or report through a confidential channel.
Three practical approaches
- Direct approach when safe: calmly state that the behavior is inappropriate and explain its impact
- Distract or redirect to interrupt the incident and buy time
- Delegate to a supervisor, HR, or confidential reporting channel
Aftercare and documentation
Check in with the person affected and document what occurred. If appropriate, share your concern with a supervisor or the designated reporting channel while maintaining confidentiality.
