Subject: Preventing Employment Discrimination Training

As you know University policy states that discrimination in the work place, or in the educational environment, is unacceptable conduct. Further it is counter-productive to our concept of a great University.

To help all employees gain a better understanding of what constitutes discrimination and how it can be prevented, UM Human Resources has developed an on-line Preventing Employment Discrimination Training program designed to educate employees about this highly sensitive issue.Our expectation is that every employee should take this training.

Please provide eachof your employees (whether faculty, or staff) with the following directions which will take them to the myHR applications page where they can access the on-line discrimination training module. This is in the same location as the Preventing Sexual Harassment Training employees took last year.
