1) Film needs to be approved in advanced by Human Resources (approved film list below). 2) Location and circumstances of viewing need to be approved by your supervisor. 3) The event needs to have a leader who will take the responsibility for overseeing the event and sign on the questionnaire form, once staff has completed it. 4) Human Resources strongly encourages the designation of a person to facilitate a group discussion of the movie. 5) Complete the questionnaire (below) and submit to Human Resources.
