Thursday, July 7, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm - Session 1: Becoming a new supervisor (3 hours)



Are you a relatively new supervisor? Now what? Most people taking on the role of new supervisor excelled as a team contributors and subsequently moved into this new role. However, supervision involves its own skillset. For new supervisors, this session allows participants to start their management assignments with a realistic preview of what is to come and what they need to immediately start doing as supervisors. For more experienced supervisors, learners identify missed opportunities in establishing their supervisory relationships, so that the more experienced supervisors can build on what they already have accomplished.


After participating in this session and completing take-away resources, learners will be able to . . .


  • Explain the roles and responsibilities of a new supervisor
  • More smoothly transition to supervision from a staff position
  • Manage and coordinate the work of friends or previous coworkers 


 


Thursday, July 21, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm - Session 2: Performance Evaluations (3 hours)


Have you ever viewed your upcoming performance evaluations with dread, as opportunities to tell someone what you really think of them, as an annoying requirement from the HR Department, or as a way to cut and paste old review comments to create new ones.? Performance Evaluations or Appraisals offer potentially powerful conversations between managers and their team members. With great planning, execution, and follow-up, performance reviews can make a difference in the performance and engagement of your current team members. People are your most important resource.


After participating in this session and completing take-away resources, learners will be able to . . .


  • Prepare for performance evaluations with team members
  • Avoid typical performance evaluation biases
  • Follow up with goal setting for team member plans


 


Thursday, July 28, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm - Session 3: Team Recruitment (3 hours)


Do you remember some of your past job interviews? How did you feel as you proceeded through the selection process? Never underestimate the power of a great job candidate experience and building long-term relationships with people who are excited about your organization, so that you create a pool of talent for current and future job openings. Job applicants sometimes feel like they go through the same interview each time they apply for a job. Same questions, the same interview process. This workshop helps make humans the focus of your recruiting strategy, in addition to the hiring process itself.


After participating in this session and completing take-away resources, learners will be able to . . .


  • Take advantage of recent recruiting trends
  • Implement critical job interview techniques
  • Write job descriptions


 


Thursday, August 4, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm - Session 4: Leading Effective Meetings (3 hours)


“Yay, another meeting!” said no one ever. Most professionals spend at least part of their workday in meetings . . . for others, it may seem as if all they do is attend meetings while at work. The quality of these meetings, therefore, becomes critical. Poorly run meetings create frustration, resistance, and apathy. Good meetings produce results, enthusiasm, and a sense of time well spent. This workshop gives both in-person and virtual meeting participants practical options that can make meetings work.


After participating in this session and completing take-away resources, learners will be able to . . .


  • Prepare for in-person and virtual meetings
  • Facilitate productive meeting discussions
