Program Information:

At present, there are two opportunities to engage with content around preventing retaliation.

1.  Attend a free, 4 hour in person training; by Thursday, April 11, 2024, from 8 am to Noon.  Held at Weber’s Boutique Hotel in Ann Arbor. (Note: The audience for the session is “leaders with administrative/formal supervision of at least one direct report” so priority may be given to those with direct supervisory responsibilities.)

2. Click through the “Building a Culture That Thrives: Preventing Retaliation” online module for faculty and staff, which provides information about preventing retaliation and protecting those who report improper behavior in support of the Protection from Retaliation policy. This module is highly recommended for all U-M employees and should take about 25 minutes to complete. Please use the text-based “Building a Culture That Thrives: Preventing Retaliation Transcript” if you encounter any accessibility issues when using the My LINC training platform, and follow the directions for certifying your participation.
