The university requires faculty and staff to complete harassment and sexual violence prevention and data security and privacy tutorials within one month of employment and every 2 years thereafter. Puget Sound has chosen Everfi [https://www.lawroom.com], a leading provider of workplace compliance training, to deliver these tutorials.
Harassment and Discrimination Prevention
This course engages employees and raises their awareness about harassment and discrimination by explaining the law and providing insight on how to respond to and report misconduct appropriately. It provides practical tips to maintain a safe, inclusive work environment, including safe and positive bystander intervention options, using inclusive language, and avoiding micro-aggressions. Interactive exercises engage learners with realistic situations, scenarios, tasks, and model strategies for promoting harassment and discrimination-free workplace.

For non-supervisors, the course takes approximately 60 minutes. For supervisors, the course takes approximately 120 minutes.
