Build confidence to take action

Every employee is a bystander at some point. Traliant's Bystander Intervention training equips employees to recognize harassment, microaggressions, bullying, and other harmful behavior and take action safely and effectively.

Through a cinematic, multi-episode storyline set at a work conference, the course shows how inappropriate behavior unfolds across in-person, off-site, and remote environments.

Employees practice the Four D's of bystander intervention (Distract, Delayed Support, Direct, and Delegate) through decision-driven scenarios with built-in knowledge checks that reinforce learning and confidence.

This course meets the City of Chicago's one-hour bystander intervention requirements and is available in a 25-minute version for other organizations.

When combined with the foundational training, 10 reinforcing Micro Reels (under 2 minutes each) keep intervention techniques in active memory with realistic scenarios learners can return to throughout the year.

Frequently asked questions

What is bystander intervention training, and why is it important?
  • Protects individuals: Bystander intervention can help to protect individuals from harm, both physically and emotionally.
  • Creates a culture of accountability: It sends a strong message that harmful behavior will not be tolerated.
  • Promotes a positive and supportive work environment: It helps to create a workplace where everyone feels safe and respected.
What is the bystander effect, and how does bystander intervention training help?
  • Raising awareness: It teaches people about the bystander effect and how it can affect their behavior.
  • Empowering individuals: It gives people the skills and confidence they need to intervene in a safe and effective way.
  • Providing a framework for action: Training helps individuals to identify different ways to intervene and to understand the potential impact of their actions.
When is it appropriate to use the “Direct” intervention method?
The Direct bystander intervention method is appropriate when it is safe to address the situation head-on. This involves directly speaking to the person causing harm or offering immediate support to the person being targeted. Use this method if you feel confident, the risk of harm is low and you can intervene calmly and assertively.
How can “Delay” intervention method support victims of harmful behavior?
The Delay bystander intervention method supports victims by offering help after the incident has occurred. This can include checking in with the victim, offering comfort or encouraging them to seek support. Even if you couldn’t intervene during the situation, showing care afterward can make a big difference in helping the person feel supported and valued.
How does the “Delegate” intervention method work in practice?
The Delegate bystander intervention method involves seeking help from someone else who is better equipped to handle the situation. This could be a manager, security personnel or someone with authority. Delegating is useful if you feel unsafe or unsure about how to intervene directly. It ensures the situation is addressed by someone who can take appropriate action.
How can the intervention method “Distract” be used in a tense situation?
The Distract bystander intervention method involves creating a distraction to interrupt the harmful behavior without confrontation. This can be as simple as starting a conversation, spilling a drink or asking for directions. The goal is to shift attention, giving the targeted person a chance to get away or defuse the situation safely.
What is the EEOC's stance on bystander intervention training as a tool for preventing workplace harassment?
The EEOC advocates for nation-wide Bystander Intervention training and highlights its potential to transform workplace cultures. With leadership support, this training fosters a "sense of collective responsibility," empowering employees to actively prevent harassment. It is hailed as a potential game changer in creating a positive work environment.
Are there any legal requirements for bystander intervention training?
Yes, the City of Chicago mandates bystander intervention training. This underscores the critical role of such training in building safe and inclusive workplaces, where employees are actively engaged in promoting respect, support, and accountability.
Why is bystander intervention training crucial for organizations today?
In today’s diverse and dynamic work environments, bystander intervention training is vital.
