Mandatory ORM Defensive Driving Training
DNR Human Resource Policy No. 9 and the Office of Risk Management require that all state employees receive Defensive Driving training within 90 days of hire and once every 3 years after that.

ORM Defensive Driving training is now provided in an online course accessed through LEO. It is an interactive audio-based course that takes approximately 20 minutes to complete and there is no test! After logging in to LEO, the course can be accessed by following the menu path My Work > Training. If the ORM Defensive Driver course is not listed in your training activities, continue to follow this menu path: Statewide courses > Office of Risk Management > ORM Defensive Driving > Book This Course (blue button) > Start Course Now (blue button).

Once you exit the course, you must "Confirm Participation" in order to receive credit. If this button does not appear, please follow the menu path above to get back to the course. You should now see it. (If you still don't, please contact Human Resources at humanres@la.gov or 342-2134.)

Human Resources will email each employee whose training is set to expire. Upon receiving this notification, employees should complete the online training prior to the indicated deadline.

Mandatory CPTP Preventing Sexual Harassment
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 107 requires employees to take sexual harassment training at least once each calendar year.  This course provides learners with information on how to identify, prevent, and report sexual harassment that occurs in the workplace.

Preventing Sexual Harassment Training is provided in an online course accessed through LEO. It is an interactive audio-based course that takes approximately 1 hour to complete. After logging in to LEO, the course can be accessed by following the menu path My Training. If the CPTP Preventing Sexual Harassment course is not listed in your training activities, continue to follow this menu path: Comprehensive Public Training Program > CPTP Web Courses > CPTP Preventing Sexual Harassment (followed by current year) > Book This Course (blue button) > Start Course Now (blue button).

Once you exit the course, you must "Confirm Participation" in order to receive credit. If this button does not appear, please follow the menu path above to get back to the course. You should now see it. (If you still don't, please contact Human Resources at humanres@la.gov or 342-2134.)

Mandatory Ethics Training 
There is a requirement pursuant to La. R.S. 42:1170A(3), that commencing on January 1, 2012 each public servant shall receive a minimum of one hour of education and training on the Code of Governmental Ethics during each year of his public employment or term of office.  This training is to promote awareness and compliance with new and existing ethics laws.

We have explored all of the methods available to satisfy this requirement and believe the most efficient method is to require individual online training.  For online training, you must register through Ethics’ online portal and have an individual e-mail address.  The e-mail address is used as the username.  You can access this online training at https://eap.ethics.la.gov/EthicsTraining/login.aspx  

You will receive a certificate at the completion of the training course. 

The deadline to complete the training is December 31 of each year.   This training, required on an annual basis, is mandatory.  The Board of Ethics can penalize an employee who fails to satisfy this requirement.

After logging in to LEO, the course can be accessed by following the menu path My Work > Training.
