By Whitney Abrams, Chief People Officer 

At King County our work is guided by our True North – Making King County a welcoming community where every person can thrive – and our values. Our True North and values represent what is important to us as an organization, what we stand for, and the way we act.  

The way we treat one another and the way we expect to be treated are critical in building a workplace culture based on respect, belonging, and inclusivity. There is no room for any type of harassment or discrimination in this culture and King County’s Nondiscrimination, Anti-Harassment and Inappropriate Conduct Policy sets out our expectations and responsibilities in the workplace.   

The policy sets out the conduct and behaviors that are prohibited at King County. It also outlines how to report incidents, all employees’ responsibilities, and the consequences of non-compliance. You can refamiliarize yourself with the policy here.  

If you have not yet taken the required Harassment Prevention for Employees training, or aren’t sure if you have completed it, you can see your completed trainings in your KCeLearning NEOGOV Learn Dashboard. Just click on Training and then View Course Transcript, and if you still need to complete the training you will find a direct link to the course under your Tasks. For those who don’t have regular computer access at work, an alternative form of the training will be made available. Your department HR Manager can tell you more about this.  

You will be paid for your time taking this training and supervisors will work to fit it into your schedule. Please talk to your supervisor or HR Manager if you have any questions.  

Thank you for helping us create a workplace built on respect, equity, inclusion, and belonging.
