PWC Staff Development Opportunities — September 16–23, 2020

**Please note that the following opportunities are available to all faculty and staff.**


Supervisor Essentials

All supervisors are highly encouraged to attend “Supervisor Essentials” as part of their comprehensive professional and leadership development. The training consists of six modules. Register for each module, attend modules in any order and retake sessions anytime for additional support. The modules are presented via WebEx, which is interactive, flexible and recorded for your convenience. Below are more details on each of the six modules:


CV28 - Module 1, Sept. 16, 9–11 a.m.

A Culture of Feedback: Performance Management & Feedback 

At SLCC, we value our employees and believe that it is a fundamental leadership responsibility of supervisors to develop others. Supervisors will learn about our Growth, Planning and Support (GPS) program to set individual performance goals and increase alignment with the College’s Mission, Vision, and Values.  We will also discuss how giving and receiving feedback can improve your ability to coach, lead and engage your employees. 

Presenters: Marni Fisher & Anjali Pai

 

CV29 - Module 2, Oct. 14, 9–11 a.m.

Creating a Positive Work Environment: Fair and Effective Employee Relations and Compliance Practices

Learn both the informal and formal corrective action processes. Additional topics include understanding and managing employee leave, as well as SLCC and federal practices related to FMLA, ADA, and EEO. (Best suited for Supervisors with Full Time Staff)

CV30 - Module 3, Oct. 21, 9–11 a.m.

Creating a Positive Work Environment: Ensuring Equal Opportunity

Presenter: David Jensen

Meditative Pause at SLCC 

Join SLCC faculty Heidi O’Donoghue and Andrea Malouf each week for Meditative Pause for People in Higher Education. Each week we will take a break from doing and problem-solving to come together for ½ hour sessions to connect, relax and center via web-ex. We’ll explore breathing and relaxation techniques, as well as best practices for mindful communication and well-being. Each session will include a very brief introduction to the weekly topic, a guided meditation and then a short group reflection.


No prior experience or registration required. Just join when you can. If you’d like to receive weekly web-ex reminders, please send your email and your department name to Andrea (andrea.malouf@slcc.edu) or Heidi (heidi.o’donoghue@slcc.edu). Or just email with questions.

Spring Session 2021: TBA from 1–1:30 p.m.  January 13–April 28, 2021


To Join: Click on the WebEx link (Andrea’s WebEx room). It may ask you to download the WebEx app, which takes a few seconds and is free. Be sure you have access to your computer or smart phone’s audio (video also preferred, but not completely necessary). 


A canvas site is now available with resources from each week’s session, so you can better incorporate this work into your daily life. 
 

“I found these session to be very valuable and re-energizing. Not to put too much on it, but I feel these are more valuable now than ever. I would be very interested in these in the future.” — Matt S. Merkel
