What is bullying? A newly released training answers that question

Workplace bullying behavior is not a concept you can define by saying “you will know it when you see it.”  Nobody should experience bullying to be able to define it.  To prevent it or eliminate it from our university, we all must know what bullying is, and how to address it.

UW – Green Bay is committed to fostering a welcoming and inclusive workplace that aligns with the workplace expectation to be fair and respectful to others.   This starts by being able to define and identify workplace bullying behavior, and recognizing options for addressing it.  This is the subject of  the newly released “Workplace Bullying Policy Training” based on SYS 1294, Workplace Bullying.

All employees are encouraged to self-enroll in the course using this link: https://uws-td.instructure.com/enroll/6BME6T.  Enrollment in this course is not mandatory, but it is highly encouraged to help create a workplace that is safe and welcoming for all employees.

HR Launches a New Support Model

Since early spring, the Human Resources (HR) team has been diligently designing, and cross-training to develop a new way to support faculty and staff at UW – Green Bay.  This new Human Resources Talent Partner (HRTP) model, will provide integrated partnership with each department to enhance support across the employee life cycle, and will align well with Workday which will be implemented in July, 2025.

The HRTP assigned to your area will be able to assist you in recruitment, onboarding, learning & development, performance management, coaching on conflict resolution, employee engagement, and retention, offboarding, or Family Medical Leave (FMLA/WFMLA).  They will be your main point of contact for most HR matters.  When your requests are outside their areas of expertise, HRTP’s will direct you to the appropriate member of the team.

We are delighted to introduce our HR Talent Partners and their assigned areas:
