Civility in the Workplace

The Virginia Department of Human Resource Management (DHRM) and the Department of Forensic Science (DFS) prohibit workplace harassment (including sexual harassment), bullying (including cyber-bullying), and workplace violence of any kind.

DHRM Policy 2.35 Civility in the Workplace establishes the comprehensive state guidelines and the DFS Civility in the Workplace Complaint Procedure Policy details how the guidelines are applied within DFS. Expectations for appropriate behaviors extend to contract workers, customers, clients, students, and other third parties in the workplace. As such, the policies, policy acknowledgement form, and sexual harassment training are provided below.
