Respectful Workplace Training rolls out for all employees in the coming weeks and some of your colleagues will be featured in videos presented during the mandatory courses.

They became “actors” and “actresses” to help educate colleagues on bullying, sexual harassment, age / retaliation, gender identity, and disability discrimination.
