Government

fostering excellence

The goal of the Bystander Intervention Training for Government Agencies is to provide participants the skills they need to ensure employees are able to achieve excellence in their work. The training uses a bystander framework to (1) equip leadership with the tools to set clear expectations for professional and productive workplace behavior and, (2) ensure all employees are able to make a positive impact on their workplaces.

Training options include face-to-face workshops, virtual workshops, and a Train the Trainer. Every training also includes Booster Activities and Evaluation Surveys.

Booster activities provide opportunities to strengthen bystander intervention skills learned in workshops. Examples of activities include (1) social marketing materials such as posters and banners, (2) short activities that can be at the start of meetings, or (3) talking points or conversation starters that can be used by supervisors.

Evaluation surveys can be given before or after a training and focus groups can be conducted to get more details about what is being gained by the training from the employee perspective. The results can provide information about participant satisfaction, the knowledge and skills they gained, how confident they feel about doing their part, and their intentions to apply the bystander skills they learned.
