September 1, 2023

Be sure to check out the UA HR Training and Development and Benefits Upcoming Events calendars that have an assortment of offerings. You can find recordings of many trainings provided by Human Resources in the MyUA learning library.

This month we are highlighting:

  • Address Employee Performance Issues in a Supportive Way   
    Training provided by ComPsych, your EAP Provider

Friday, September 15, 11-12pm

When addressing performance issues, it can be hard to show employees that you care about and support them, while still being clear about problems and expectations. This session offers tools for having supportive conversations in these challenging situations.

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

  • Describe ways to foster positive relationships so that employees are open to your feedback, even when it is difficult to hear
  • Distinguish “normal” bad day employee behavior from behavior that’s more seriously problematic
  • Identify planning considerations to use before you begin a conversation about performance issues
  • Use words and phrases that give you the best chance for a productive conversation instead of one that becomes defensive or unproductive
  • Be ready to offer resources to support employees who may react in concerning ways upon receiving feedback.

  • HR Coordinator Training: Payroll Knowledge - Time Sheets & More

September 20, 2pm – 3pm

Taxable Benefits will include gift cards, tips, travel, etc. Collections will include keys, parking, citations and more.
