Everyone working for the UN is responsible for helping to create and protect the work culture of civility and respect, in which we proactively and effectively address workplace issues including instances of possible discrimination, harassment (including sexual harassment), and abuse of authority.
There are many ways to encourage trust, psychological safety, and a sense of belonging for all UN personnel so that every one of us can be empowered to comply with ST/SGB/2019/8 on Addressing discrimination, harassment, including sexual harassment, and abuse of authority.
As part of the United to Respect Initiative, the Office of Human Resources in the Department of Management Strategy, Policy and Compliance is pleased to introduce a new mandatory self-paced online learning programme, “United to Respect: Preventing Sexual Harassment and Other Prohibited Conduct”.
This new programme builds upon and replaces the programme, “Prevention of Sexual Harassment and Abuse by United Nations Personnel — Working Harmoniously”, in the mandatory learning portfolio. The “Working Harmoniously” programme will thereby no longer be mandatory effective today.
The new mandatory programme is available in two versions – a foundational version for all personnel and a version for managers that includes an additional module.
Both versions are offered in all six official UN languages.
All staff members, including those who have completed the “Working Harmoniously” programme, will be required to complete the new “United to Respect” mandatory learning programme.
Staff members should log into Inspira and click on the “Mandatory Courses” button on the dashboard, or click through the following path, starting at the top-right corner of the dashboard: Main Menu > Navigator > Self Service > Learning > Mandatory Learning.
Non-staff personnel can access and complete mandatory programmes via inspira eLearning.
Enrollment instructions are available here.
As a reminder, staff members are required to complete self-paced mandatory learning programmes within six months of their effective date of introduction, or within six months of joining the Organization.
Any inquiries regarding mandatory learning can be addressed to learning@un.org.
All staff
The mandatory online course is NOT equivalent neither to Dialogues nor the Toolkit.
