Annual Compliance Campaign is Underway

Annual Ethics and Conflict of Interest Compliance Campaign begins March 7. This year, employees must also complete cyber security and Haven for Faculty & Staff training requirements.

Each year, Georgia Tech employees are required to affirm their understanding of the Institute’s ethical standards and the conflict of interest policy, and certify all external activities and financial relationships. This year, two additional components are being added to the Institute’s Compliance Campaign: cyber security and Haven for Faculty & Staff training. All faculty, staff, and student workers must complete all four compliance requirements between March 7 and April 8, 2016.

Visit "My Compliance Campaigns" on TechWorks (techworks.gatech.edu) to learn more about these requirements and submit the required information. Employees do not have to complete all four compliance requirements in one sitting; they can be completed in multiple sittings. It may take up to two hours to complete all of the training and compliance requirements.

Understanding your responsibilities as a public employee and as a member of the Georgia Tech community is important for maintaining ethical standards across the Institute. It also helps ensure the Institute remains compliant with federal and state laws.

Employees who do not comply by April 8, 2016, may receive a formal disciplinary notice from the Institute, and their access to Georgia Tech’s network may also be revoked.
