UM-Dearborn 2011 Staff Training and Development

 

Dear UM-Dearborn Colleagues,  

I am pleased to announce that we will again be offering comprehensive and focused training and development programs this year on the Dearborn campus. The Human Resources team continues to assess the development needs through requests by leadership and staff, review of development plan information on campus, and summary results of the previous Staff Satisfaction Survey and discussion groups. These training opportunities are designed to help improve staff performance and contribution levels, as well as further career development potential, by helping to develop an individual’s knowledge, skills and abilities.

Opportunities for training and development have been identified in three categories:  leadership development, professional development and business process.  Prior to registering for courses, staff members are encouraged to meet individually with their supervisor to collaboratively identify which of these programs is most appropriate for them to attend based on individual developmental needs and interest. Additionally, Ginny Zarras, Renee Moton, Rima Berry-Hung, or  Kela Green are available to meet with you to assist in enhancing your development plan.  Furthermore, we can assist you with identifying developmental opportunities that may not be provided in these offerings, yet are very important to an individual staff member.

 

Regards,

 

Jeff Evans

Director, Human Resources
