Welcome to the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point! We are very excited to have you join our campus community and we look forward to supporting you as you begin your work at UW-Stevens Point.
For the most part, if you are a new Faculty or Staff member, you will learn much of what you need to know from your immediate colleagues, co-workers, and supervisor. However, we have assembled a variety of resources that we think will be useful as you begin your work at UWSP.
If you are new to UW-Stevens Point, please take a look at the Starting at UWSP webpages on the Human Resources and Affirmative Action website to ensure you have completed the required paperwork (employment, payroll, benefits) and get access to a variety of information and resources to help you become acquainted with UW-Stevens Point and the area.
UWSP is committed to fostering an environment that is safe, respectful, and inclusive to all and to educate all employees on these important issues. In addition, we are obligated, under Regent policy and federal regulations, to ensure our employees are informed on the issues of unlawful discrimination, harassment, and sexual violence. All employees of UWSP are required to take a workplace harassment and discrimination prevention training upon hire and thereafter every three years as a refresher. Shortly after your hire date , you will receive an email from Everfi/LawRoom providing login instructions for the training(s). Please complete the trainings by the due date listed; it is required that employees complete trainings within a month of hire date. If you have questions about the sexual harassment and discrimination prevention training, please contact Human Resources at 715-346-2606 or hr@uwsp.edu. If you have questions about the data security training, please contact the Information Security Office at information.security.office@uwsp.edu.
