Multiexcerpt
MultiExcerptNameIntroduction


Reliant staff are dedicated to furthering the Gospel and are committed to upholding to upholding high standards of ethical, professional, and Christian behavior. Nevertheless, it is necessary on a regular basis to regularly remind ourselves of how we should ensure that all individuals, including staff, volunteers, and those to whom we minister, are treated with honor, respect, and dignity as image-bearers of God.   For this reason, all Reliant staff will need to complete annual training courses on harassment prevention and child abuse awareness.


...

All courses are web-based , include quizzes, and do not need to be completed in one session. The majority of these courses include quizzes and will be completed on LEARN. Find out more about LEARN.

For most new staff, the training will take about 3 hours. For new staff in supervisory or leadership roles, there will be additional training that will take about 3 hours 10 minutes and will include modules specifically for managers on preventing sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace.

For most existing staff, annual training will take about 1.5 hours. An additional 15-minute Ministry Experience Survey will be available to complete, which is optional but encouraged. 

For descriptions of descriptions of who is a supervisor or leader, see Role Definitions.
