The U.S. Office of Personnel Management and the U.S. Department of Justice are pleased to announce the release of a newly-developed training course, Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking in the Workplace.  This course is available to all agencies at no cost on HR University.

The training is applicable to all Government agencies and covers definitions and types of Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking (DVSAS), how DVSAS is a workplace issue, possible signs and symptoms of DVSAS, the importance of maintaining confidentiality in the workplace, and identifying the internal and external resources available to assist employees and managers.  The training clearly flags issues of particular importance for supervisors, has links to external resources such as 24-hour hotlines, and offers interactive scenarios to help users think about how to respond in different situations.
