Description

A respectful workplace is created when people feel safe in their work environment. Everyone has a right to feel safe at work and we are all responsible for creating a safe and respectful workplace. The bystander effect is a social phenomenon where the presence of others can discourage an individual from intervening against a behavior of concern. This program goes through the communication skills needed for an individual to become an upstander, and intervene if they notice another struggling with negative impact of disrespectful workplace situation

Structure

TELUS Health Learning workshops go beyond awareness, and allow participants to practice and engage with the topic. Facilitated in small groups, participants can expect learning activities like small-group discussion, breakout rooms, role-play, scenario-based learning – as well as more standard elements like Q&A, polling and chat functionality.

Availability

All of our Learning programmes are available in English and French. Local languages may be available for an additional fee.

Objectives

Upon completing this workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Define the terms commonly associated with respectful relationships in the workplace.
  • Identify how employees, clients/customers and others can be impacted by both bystanders and upstanders.
  • Demonstrate communication and self-care skills needed to be an upstander by using scenario based discussion activities.
