The NESDIS Workplace Violence Prevention Pilot Program will provide all NESDIS employees with a new resource to answer questions and assist in addressing concerns about workplace violence. The pilot program is being called RESPECT. RESPECT is not an acronym but has been selected to represent the goal of respectful behavior in the workplace. Your calls to (757) 441-3838 will be answered by a trained RESPECT response coordinator who will provide you with advice in response to your questions or concerns, may refer you to other appropriate resources, or may call in the trained response team of NOAA experts to assess the situation and provide guidance on how to proceed.
