Abusive Conduct in the Workplace
All UCSF Health and UCSF Campus faculty, staff and students/trainees who are also employees are required to complete this new one-time mandatory training.
This 20-minute course provides an overview of the University of California policy on Abusive Conduct in the Workplace and covers the requirements of the policy. Topics include: Overview (What is Abusive Conduct?) | Prevention (Who is covered? What are your protections?) | Procedures (What happens when there is abuse?) | Resources (Access location-specific information).
Abusive conduct undermines the University’s ability to achieve inclusive excellence and compromises the vital mission of the University to educate students and serve the residents of California by interfering with an individual’s participation in or benefit from instructional, research, employment, or other programs sponsored by the University. It is important that all members of the University community understand the risk that abusive conduct poses to the University’s ability to thrive as an institution.
UC Workplace Violence Prevention
UCSF faculty, staff and students/trainees who are also employees are required to complete this 25-minute training upon hire and annually thereafter.
- UCSF Campus staff are to take the new UC Workplace Violence Prevention training
- UCSF Health staff are to continue taking the existing Workplace Violence Prevention in Healthcare training
UCSF is committed to providing a work environment that is free from harassment, violence, and threats of violence. Violence in the workplace is an occupational health and safety hazard that can cause physical and emotional harm.
We believe physical and emotional safety is a right and responsibility of every person. California law requires UCSF to provide workplace violence prevention awareness training to all employees upon hire and annually thereafter.
Completing required training is an important responsibility for all UCSF employees.
Employees are responsible for taking all mandatory trainings relevant for their role to protect them, the University and our mission, as well as uphold our PRIDE Values and ensure our compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. Mandatory training is a priority for the UC Office of the President and compliance is reviewed regularly by the UC Board of Regents. The manager's role is to:
- Talk with your direct reports about the importance of completing mandatory training.
- Set calendar reminders for a regular cadence (ex: quarterly) to review your team’s mandatory training/status completion in HR Umbrella
- Share additional messaging with your staff as needed using the manager template message and customize as needed to remind overdue employees about their responsibility to remain compliant with training
- Reserve time for training/help employees reprioritize to carve out dedicated time to complete their training
- Make training and development a regular part of check in’s/conversations with direct reports
