We strive for an inclusive, respectful, and safe workplace. To help, we’ve established enterprise-wide organizations that raise awareness of problem behaviors and work to prevent illegal and unethical acts in the workplace. We’ve also established avenues for employees to report illegal, unethical, unsafe, or other troubling behavior.
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.
Free Expression Staff Guidance
Johns Hopkins University staff are expected to follow University rules, policies and guidelines (other than those that are specific to students) 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 non-working 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.
