For Faculty and Staff
Appreciation, recognition, and gratitude are a remarkably strong source of energy that we all possess. When we can tap into that powerful source of energy it can have a deep, positive effect on our work relationships and successful outcomes. In this session we will explore the science behind the impact of appreciation, recognition, and gratitude, what makes it such a dynamic force and the specific ways you can integrate these energy sources into your day.
This workshop's foundation is Prosci’s Taking Charge of Change Workshop.
The workshop delivers the fundamental concepts of change management and establishes how effective change management can benefit your organization.
The program applies the Five Tenets of Change Management to a specific project or change initiative to build awareness and desire for change management—the first two milestones in the Prosci ADKAR Model.
At the end of this one-day online experience, participants will be able to:
The workplace is a diverse and dynamic place. Successfully working with those who are different from you is a skill and mindset that is highly valued by employers (and very useful in life in general). How does your identity influence how you see the world and others? Why do our brains want to jump to conclusions about people based on first impressions? Where do our biases come from? What can we do about them? This workshop helps you explore the factors influencing your social/cultural identity and how it influences your view of others and their view of you.
Beyond the Books is a training that will provide participants with general information on the prevalence of mental challenges and illness, help participants to identify signs of troubling behaviour, and give them skills to engage in a preliminary discussion to determine if referral to a professional is necessary, all within the U of G context.
Workplaces are increasingly moving to and recognizing the benefits of hybrid working arrangements. These arrangements may include hybrid telecommuting, remote-first or location-based offices, flexible work schedules, compressed workweeks, working from home or elsewhere, and many more alternatives. And while hybrid work arrangements come with many benefits including improved work-life harmony and greater job satisfaction – it’s important to understand what the challenges may be and how to overcome them in order to successfully thrive within this unique working arrangement.
