What Should Colleagues Do If They Witness Workplace Harassment?

Colleagues who witness workplace harassment should report it to a supervisor, manager, or the human resources department. Supporting the victim by being an ally, offering to be a witness, and encouraging the victim to report are also crucial actions. It’s essential to foster a culture where harassment is not tolerated, and bystander intervention can play a key role in this.

Workplace harassment is a pervasive issue that impacts employees’ morale, productivity, and overall well-being. At McOmber McOmber & Luber, we are passionate about fighting for those who have fallen victim to this insidious behavior.
