Jodi Traas, a Senior Risk Analyst with Wisconsin County Mutual Insurance, which handles liability for government at different levels across the state, gave a presentation to the Door County Board of Supervisors Tuesday morning on harassment within the workplace. She said that she has done work with over 50 counties in the state, and Door’s policy is as good as it gets. Traas said she wouldn’t change any aspect of the document, even though it’s now 11 years old. Strong guidance helps fuel a strong culture, and less harassment at work creates benefits for employers, says Traas.

Traas’ talk is part of a series by the Wisconsin Counties Association on good governance. They will happen monthly with additional training occurring when needed. Traas also works with school districts, including Gibraltar, and will be back in the area in November to do a seminar on implicit bias training.
