Bystander Intervention Training Workplace
Don't just stand by! Act now!
Give your team members the refined tools to speak up for others, be confident, and set boundaries when they see insensitivity in your workplace.
You might have wishful thinking to regard your workplace as a sanctuary from insensitivity in the real world. Still, insensitivity happens even with training, a message of respect, and a team of people encouraging positive actions. What will you do when you witness insensitivity? To maintain an inspiring and respectful environment, it does mean you will have to act.
In our Bystander Intervention Training Workplace Edition session, we will review the steps you can take to keep your workplace ideal for everyone.
