Subject: Required Training - Ethics & Business Conduct for Government Contractors

Colleagues,

As part of our on-going commitment to Ethics & Compliance globally, all Abt employees (US-based, Expatriates, Local Nationals and Global Commuters) who did not complete the two-hour live (or video-taped live) Ethics & Compliance sessions earlier this year (including the COP Conference), are required to complete this on-line training.  You will need to complete the training within the next thirty days, by COB Thursday, December 4, 2014.

Here is the process for completing the training:

This online training is available through the ATLAS Learning Management System (LMS).  To access the training, click on the “Learning Management System (LMS)” link in the Learning tile in ATLAS. Once in the LMS, click on "Ethics and Business Conduct for Government Contractors" which has been added to your “My Learning Assignments” page.

The training will take between 45-60 minutes to complete. You may charge up to one hour to 15333-1100 (Ethics and Compliance Training). Although we recommend you complete the course in one sitting, you may exit the course and resume where you left off, in order to complete it. Make sure you exit by clicking on the “Exit” button first instead of closing out of the browser window, or your responses may not be saved.

When you reach the last slide make sure you follow the instructions, “To receive a status of ‘Completed’, you must press the ‘Finish’ button and exit the course.” When you finish the training, the LMS will automatically register you as “complete.”  It will no longer be in My Learning Assignments, it will show up in your Learning History.

Tips for successfully completing the training:

Complete the training in Internet Explorer. You may experience issues running the course in other browsers.

For offshore employees, depending on your connectivity, we recommend selecting the “Text-Based” option for completing the training on the Welcome screen.

Please review the Code of Conduct in detail following the training. The Code can be found in AGI on the “Ethics and Compliance” page under the “Departments” tab, which is under the “Home” tab.  Click on the Code of Conduct to be directed to this page.

You will receive two follow-up reminder emails between now and the due date. Once you complete the training you will not get subsequent reminders. We will circulate a list of non-completions to supervisors and to the MAG four business days prior to the deadline.  Employees who fail to complete the training by the deadline may be placed on unpaid administrative leave.

If you have questions or technical difficulties, please contact the HR Service Center. You can reach them via email or at x4772. If you are in a site office and have questions, you may contact Veronique Tropper.

Regards,

Clarissa
