UT HR 128

All UT department heads recently received the message below regarding staff training. Professional development is a priority for the University and an expectation in IPS. Who doesn't want to learn and get better? When we stop learning, we stop growing.

Your agency director has a current report of your training hours. If you have not already completed 32 hours this year, you still have time to find meaningful training through some of these resources.

 

 

Dear Deans, Directors, and Department Heads:

HR Policy 128 emphasizes that staff employees of the university are expected to complete 32 hours of training per year. Performance review time for staff will be here shortly, and it’s important to see that your employees have met development goals for 2013. These goals can be reached in three ways:

1.       Complete classes available through Employee and Organizational Development (EOD).  For example, a partial list includes the upcoming classes:  Balancing Your Life and Career, Stefani Mundy (Oct. 15, 8:30-11:30); Retirement Strategies for Women, UTFCU (Oct. 15, 11:30-1); Community Response to an Active Shooter, UT Police Dept. (Oct. 17, 12-1); Introduction to Supervision, Stefani Mundy (Oct. 22, 8:30-11:30); Safe Zone Training, Ashleigh Moyer (Oct. 25, 1-4); and Preventing Sexual Harassment, Marva Rudolph (Oct. 29, 8:30-11:30). Most classes are free to faculty and staff.

2.       Complete a training class/seminar/conference outside EOD’s listings, fill out the Additional Training Credit Form, and send it to EOD, 220 Conference Center Building.

3.       Complete a free course from EOD’s e-learning 300+ classes, fill out the Additional Training Credit Form, and send it to EOD, 220 Conference Center Building.

For complete course offerings, forms, and other details, you may visit the EOD website: http://humanresources.tennessee.edu/eod/registration.html.

In addition, you may request departmental training reports, which illustrate how many hours have been completed by individual employees in your department, by contacting Johanna Owenby, jowenby@tennessee.edu.
