Corrective feedback strategies

Offer specific, behavior-based feedback using I-statements and observable actions. Focus on impact, not intent. Use neutral language and invite dialogue.

Bystander intervention steps

Notice, interpret, and choose a safe, respectful intervention. Options include checking in with the affected person, redirecting language, or reporting through proper channels.

Example scripts

• To a colleague: To a colleague: "When you said X, it had the effect Y on the team. In the future, could we approach it like Z?"
• To a supervisor: I want to ensure our meetings are inclusive. Could we adjust the language used when discussing A?

Building a respectful culture

Encourage accountability, reinforce positive language, and celebrate inclusive behaviors. Provide ongoing training resources and practice to sustain progress.
