Addressing Hostile and/or Intimidating Behavior (HIB): 10 Years Later What Have We Learned?
Tamie Klumpyan, Inclusion@UW Program Manager, Office of Human Resources/Department of Learning and Talent Development at the University of Wisconsin – Madison
Lynn Freeman, Chief Employee Learning Officer (CLO) and Director of Learning and Talent Development, Office of Human Resources/Department of Learning and Talent Development at the University of Wisconsin – Madison
In 2014, the University of Wisconsin-Madison embarked on a deliberate initiative to confront incidents of "workplace bullying." A decade later, lessons have been learned, campus partnerships have flourished, and an array of resources has been created and curated to proactively address and mitigate HIB occurrences on campus. We invite you to join us as we reflect on the evolution of HIB policies and procedures at our institution and explore practical insights and considerations for potential adaptation and implementation within your own campus community.
Community Care Activity
Each year, the Wisconsin CUPA-HR Board facilitates an activity that gives back to the community we all live in and care about. This year, we are asking that each conference attendee interested in participating bring a book to donate to the Fox Valley Technical College's Childcare Center. Brand new or gently used books are greatly appreciated. The Center is looking for books relevant to all ages between 6-weeks to 9 years old.
