Humphrys leads the \u201cBe More Than a Bystander\u201d program, an unparalleled training that has been adopted by large organizations and companies to raise awareness and propel positive action to end violence against women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been one of the most successful programs that I\u2019ve ever seen,\u201d said Humphrys, whose professional background is a mixture in both the non-profit and the oil and gas industries, giving her a unique perspective on workplace harassment and bullying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program began with men delivering the training to other men, an important element that sets it apart from others. The objective of \u201cBe More Than a Bystander\u201d is to help men understand the impact of gendered violence in the workplace and the role they can have in speaking up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one-of-a-kind program tactfully addresses sensitive topics to help participants feel empowered to navigate uncomfortable and possibly harmful situations safely and productively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSuccess is driven by positive culture,\u201d said Humphrys. \u201cThe IAM is the first American union to take on this program. That sets a very impressive precedent for your country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In January 2023, the IAM became the first labor group in the United States to be trained in the Be More Than a Bystander program<\/strong><\/a> when 19 male IAM staff members attended a three-day train-the-trainer course at the William W. Winpisinger Education and Technology Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, those staff members are facilitators who can teach \u2018Be More Than a Bystander\u2019 to their colleagues and members of the IAM. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
