Mandatory Compliance Training
BGSU provides mandatory training courses upon hire and annually for BGSU faculty and staff. In an effort to streamline required annual trainings for faculty and staff, the Division of Community Well-Being, the Office of Human Resources and the Office of General Counsel will require all employees to complete them during the Fall Semester, within an established timeframe.
Complete mandatory compliance training in Bridge
Please note that courses completed no more than 60 days prior to the Fall launch by recent hires will have fulfilled the annual compliance requirement and will be included in the rotation for the following year.
Verification of completion will be documented in the Bridge system. You will not need to submit a certificate of completion but will have the opportunity to print one off if you wish.
Descriptions of courses required by each department, who to contact with questions and additional information is available.
Office of Human Resources
Discrimination and Sexual Misconduct Trainings
Two of the three courses below are required by the Office of Human Resources and are not able to be replaced or substituted by any other training offerings on campus.
This annually required training will include the following:
Faculty and staff (all employees - excluding supervisors)
Mosaic: Prevent Discrimination and Harassment Together
Will provide an overview of the law on harassment, preventing retaliation by managers and preventing unlawful discrimination. This will help you recognize and prevent unlawful harassment and retaliation as they occur in educational settings. You will have multiple opportunities to check your mastery of key concepts.
Supervisors only
Mosaic: Prevent Discrimination and Harassment Together
If you are a supervisor, please take this course instead of the faculty and staff version listed above.
Faculty, staff and supervisors (all employees)
Mosaic: Prevent Sexual Violence Together
Explores the Campus SaVE Act, which is a federal law affecting students and professionals working for a college or university. You will learn how to recognize and prevent incidents of sexual violence and receive a compliance resource guide. All faculty and staff, whether in a supervisory role or not, are required to complete this version of the training.
If you have questions regarding a discrimination and sexual misconduct training, please email Suzi Saunders-O’Herron at smsaund@bgsu.edu or Lisa Dubose at ldubose@bgsu.edu or call 419-372-8421.
