As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting professional growth and leadership development for all university staff, the Organizational Development team is excited to announce an enhanced virtual and in person Manager Training and Workshop series.

Take your leadership skills to the next level with practical insights and actionable strategies in our new monthly Management Essentials training. In addition to these regular training sessions, we’ve curated a series of engaging and interactive workshops led by internal and external experts in leadership development, performance management, and mental well being. This new series is open to all staff members at the university.

Management Essentials: Part I & II

Our internal management training is now offered in two parts and is available for all staff members to register and attend anytime throughout the spring semester. Both sessions will be offered once a month from October through June, 2025. 

Manager Essentials Part I: The Essentials: This essential training for both new and experienced managers will refresh your toolkit, encourage understanding of critical university procedures, and help you ensure that your team feels welcomed, connected, and set up for success. Join us as we discuss onboarding plans and management best practices, including managing performance. 

Manager Essentials Part II: Putting Theory into Practice: Join this workshop-style training session to continue the learning from Manager Essentials Part I. Immerse yourself with a group of peers in realistic management scenarios in which you’ll learn through applying best practice management principles and tools.

Please note: our two Manager Essentials training sessions will be offered on a monthly basis. Staff members should attend one Part I training session before they register for their Part 2 training session.
