Success factors identified in effective interventions

Success factorBrief description
A multi-dimensional and multi-level approachEffective interventions generally contained various initiatives, implemented at the individual, team and organisational level, constructed as an anti-bullying or healthy work program
Immersion of the intervention across the organisation or departmentEffective interventions generally targeted a “critical mass” of the organisation/department and achieved strong uptake of the intervention initiatives
Senior management engagementSenior management generally had a genuine and meaningful involvement in effective interventions, including leading or actively supporting anti-bullying or culture change activities and ensuring that sufficient time and resources are allocated to enable success
Organisational ownership of the interventionEffective interventions were more commonly initiated and/or run by an internal group (e.g. a steering group or working group), rather than an external facilitator. This created ownership of the intervention and sustained support
Tailoring to the organisation or departmentEffective interventions were generally tailored to the workplace, to ensure that the process and outcomes of the intervention had strong alignment with existing organisational systems and processes
Worker engagement and participationWorker participation in the design and implementation of intervention initiatives supported its effectiveness by ensuring targeted and valued intervention initiatives, encouraging positive attitudes towards the intervention and fostering a commitment to a shared purpose
