Why bystander action matters
Bystander action helps prevent bullying, harassment and discrimination before they escalate. Training employees to recognise, respond and intervene builds safer, more respectful and compliant workplaces.
Up to 60% of employees say they have witnessed bullying, harassment or discrimination in the workplace.
*CIPD, 2021; EEOC
Employees who receive bystander intervention training 60-70% more likely to take action when they witness harmful behaviours.
* Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 2022
When harmful behaviours are not addressed early, they are three times more likely to escalate into serious grievances or legal claims.
* Harvard Business Review, 2019)
