Training set on workplace violence policies

To ensure that UB faculty and staff are fully aware of the university’s Workplace Violence Prevention Policy and its Domestic Violence and the Workplace Policy, all employees are being required to complete an online training session by May 1.

The training will provide employees with the knowledge and tools needed to recognize workplace violence and its associated behaviors, and to report incidents of workplace violence.

Supervisors should allow their employees time during their work day to complete the training session, which should take 20-30 minutes.

Anyone with questions about the Workplace Violence Prevention Policy, the Domestic Violence and the Workplace Policy, or the associated online training should contact the Office of Employee Relations at 645-7777.
