WASHINGTON, D.C. — Starting March 31, the Forest Service will be delivering biweekly training on how we can work together to create a culture of respect throughout the agency. All employees are encouraged to participate.

The training, “Creating a Culture of Respect,” examines Forest Service culture to determine what elements align with our values and help us be good stewards to land and people, and what factors get in the way of this goal. The program uses research and theory, as well as interaction and group dialogue. Participants will walk through real-life examples and scenarios to understand how to reduce harm and increase respect in the workplace. In short, this training aims to help participants identify obstacles, use their power to make effective changes and redefine the rules for ending harassment and discrimination to make a positive difference in the workplace.

A spreadsheet of the upcoming training dates is available online. Register for the class and save the information on your calendar. Each event is two hours in length.
