Good morning I hope that you are keeping well. I am pleased to tell you that Learning & Organizational Development (LOD) has opened our training and development workshops for January, 2025. To register, please visit LODReg here: https://umanitoba.gosignmeup.com/Public/Course/Browse Our February workshops and sessions will open for registration in early January, and then we will continue to open the calendar six to eight weeks in advance throughout the winter and spring terms. Some workshops that may interest you include: Training: Design & Development: Monday, January 13, 1:00 to 4:00pm. If you are ever called upon to train others, this half-day workshop will give you a solid foundation in the training design models we use in LOD to support people to learn new skills in a collaborative and engaging environment. Managing the Respectful Workplace: Thursday, January 16, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm (online via Webex). We all hold a responsibility to avoid behaviours that, even unintentionally, may reasonably offend, intimidate, embarrass or humiliate others. This workshop explores ways that all of us, and especially those with people management responsibilities, can support a respectful workplace. Influencing Change: Monday, January 20, 1:00 to 4:00pm. Using influence to initiate and support change means having an impact on achieving results and being able to recognize the key moments, or conversations, where you can make a difference. Change Models and Methods: Monday, January 27, 1:00 to 4:00pm. There are several models and methods to approach, implement, coordinate and support change. In this workshop, participants will review the characteristics of several common change models and explore the strengths and challenges of each. Introduction to Human Resources: Tuesday, January 21 from 9:00am to 4:00pm (online via Webex). This workshop explores the human resources aspects of the employee life cycle. While this is the first workshop in the UM Human Resources Essentials Program, it can be taken as a stand-alone workshop for those who want to learn more about human resource management at the university. Introduction to Management: Wednesday, January 22, from 9:00 am to 4:00pm. Learn the fundamentals about setting strategy, creating values, and developing management styles, along with practicing basic coaching skills. While this is the first workshop in the UM Management Fundamentals Program, it can be taken on its own by anyone who wants to learn about managing and supervising others at the university.

[cid:image002.png@01D99791.FD998890] Good afternoon, With summer just around the corner, this is also a great time for us to look towards next fall and consider plans for professional development and the training opportunities available to you through Learning & Organizational Development (LOD), Human Resources. Our fall learning calendar will be open for registration in late August, and we are already working on new workshops and sessions to support your career development. We will have several offerings of both ‘Introduction to Management’ and ‘Introduction to Human Resources’, which are great foundational workshops to explore supervisory skills and human resources practices here at the University of Manitoba. Both can be taken as a stand-alone workshop and are also the prerequisite for their respective certificate programs: the UM Management Fundamentals Program (UMMFP) or the UM Human Resources Essentials Program (UMHREP). If you have started either of those certificate programs, maybe next fall will be your opportunity to complete your certificate. You can view a record of all of your LOD workshop attendance on your profile in LODReg by visiting: https://umanitoba.gosignmeup.com/Public/Course/Browse If you are thinking of taking a degree credit course at the University of Manitoba, you may be eligible for tuition reimbursement under the university’s Support Staff Learning and Development policy. We encourage you to review both the policy, and the procedures to apply for reimbursement, well in advance of registering for a course so that you know your eligibility and the process to request reimbursement. For more information on LOD programs and services, tuition reimbursement and staff development supports, and the work of the Support Staff Endowment Fund committee, log into the UM Intranet, select “Employee Resources” and under “Learning and Growth” select “Employee Career Development”: https://umanitoba.sharepoint.com/sites/um-intranet-career-development .
