A GREAT PLACE TO WORK
IN THIS ISSUE
You may have noticed that we have included our monthly professional and leadership course offerings in each of the UHR Connect newsletters. In this issue, we are featuring our Learning and Talent Development (L&TD) team. L&TD coordinates, designs, and delivers a diverse selection of classroom, on-line, and individual learning programs for the UMD community. As an essential part of UHR, their goal is to stimulate a transformative culture of learning by providing tools to develop and enhance essential workplace skills. Professional development courses include: Developing Resourcefulness, Crucial Conversations in a Diverse Workforce, GED Test Preparation, and MBTI速. On the leadership development track courses such as; Keys to a Positive Workplace, Effective Delegation, Planning and Execution, and Coaching for Performance and Growth are offered. I strongly encourage you to register at training.umd.edu for any of the many courses offered. We also welcome the opportunity to come to your department and deliver group/team trainings. We hope you enjoy this issue.
