Dear Friend, |

After a conducted nine-month study by Germain Impact Solutions, it revealed that the Bystander Intervention in the Workplace training, created by Right To Be (formerly Hollaback!), led to real-world actions, with 67% of attendees reported applying the bystander intervention skills they learned after witnessing a situation of harassment.
The goal of the training is to reduce instances of workplace harassment through the use of Right To Be’s proven 5Ds methodology – Distract, Delegate, Document, Delay, and Direct. Many respondents reported using these strategies more than once!
Participants reported feeling more equipped to respond to harassment after learning the 5Ds methodology. 87% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that the 5Ds gave them the tools they needed to respond to harassment/ disrespect and 88% still remembered the 5Ds even six months after the training.

Emily May, Right To Be's President, Co-Founder, and Lead Executive Officer said: “This study demonstrates that bystander intervention is a powerful and effective tool for combatting harassment and disrespect in the workplace. If taking only one Right To Be training can lead 67% of people to intervene in situations of harassment -- imagine what would happen if we went even deeper in workplaces to build a culture where bystander intervention was the norm."
This report was made possible through the support of RALIANCE: a national partnership dedicated to ending violence in one generation. RALIANCE was created with seed funding from the National Football League. In 2022, RALIANCE awarded Right To Be funding to support bystander intervention training research. The report was completed after analyzing quantitative and qualitative data, including existing training data, follow-up surveys to all training participants, as well as 1:1 and focus group discussions at workplaces.
