Employee Relations Workshops: Schedule & Registrations

Respect & Civility at UVA is a discussion designed to explore and encourage inclusive dialogue about what a respectful workplace looks like for all staff and faculty employees at the UVA Academic and UVA Health. In this interactive workshop, most often called “Respect@”, we will identify University resources for those that experience disrespectful behaviors ranging from discourtesy to bullying. We'll discuss what it means to be a bystander and the obligations we have to each other within a respectful workplace. Ultimately, the Respect@ mission is to create a productive, safe and welcoming environment for all those within our UVA workplace.
