Policies
Both Old Dominion University and the Commonwealth of Virginia have policies that support Civility in the Workplace by prohibiting workplace harassment (including sexual harassment), bullying (including cyber-bullying), and workplace violence of any kind.
During August
During the Month of August OIED will provide the following:
- Daily social media blast from OIED providing civility operational definitions, tangible ways to display civility and positive affirmations.
- Faculty, Staff, and the student body will participate in a social media visual campaign informing how to use civility in the workplace, in digital communications, the virtual environment, face-to-face, and amongst the collective monarch community.
- Vector Solution training will be provided for all faculty and staff members with the opportunity to post and tag #ODUInclusive upon successful completion of one or more of the civility professional learnings.
- OIED social media will displace titles of civility related books that can be obtained through the ODU (Old Dominion University) library.
