We strive for an inclusive, respectful, and safe workplace.
The resources below provide guidance and ways to speak up to support you and make this a great workplace.
Workplace Matters
Office of Institutional Equity
JHU’s Office of Institutional Equity works to ensure JHU’s compliance with affirmative action, equal opportunity, and other laws and is a resource for faculty and staff who require accommodations at work.
Speak2Us Confidential Reporting
Members of the Johns Hopkins community can report concerns about inappropriate and disrespectful behaviors, workplace bullying, workplace violence, domestic or partner violence in the workplace, as well as concerns about illegal, unethical, or discriminatory acts through the confidential Speak2Us reporting site. Employees can report concerns through Speak2Us or make use of resources we offer to faculty, staff, students, and managers through Learning Solutions.
Healthy Dialogue in the Workplace - Staff Guidance
With the support for free expression at the university, we wanted to provide resources to support staff. We are all governed by the same general principles within Free Expression at JHU with specific guidance for staff around having healthy dialogue in the workplace.
Johns Hopkins University staff are expected to follow university rules, policies, and guidelines, including those that govern the use of campus grounds and facilities; those prohibiting disruption of university activities or activities that cause health, safety, or welfare concerns; and those prohibiting threat, harassment, or intimidation of others. Johns Hopkins University is also committed to free expression, and, during nonworking hours (or while on approved leave), staff may participate in or support campus protest activities so long as those activities and the staff person’s conduct does not violate university policies or interfere with the staff member’s job responsibilities.
JHU’s policies, rules, and guidelines regarding free expression, protest, and demonstration apply to bargaining unit employees on the same basis as other employees and students so long as they do not conflict with the terms of the relevant CBA. If a specific term in a CBA conflicts with any portion(s) of a JHU policy, rule, or guideline, the provision(s) of the CBA will control to the extent of any conflict.
