Creating a Positive Workplace Environment

Posting Date(s)
Building on last year鈥檚 Respectful Workplace sessions, the Healthy Campus Committee is again sponsoring sessions on creating and maintaining a respectful workplace at 91探花. Last year鈥檚 sessions, facilitated by Jan Link, were well received and well attended. Respectful workplace behaviours impact everyone on campus and it is the hope of the Healthy Campus Committee that everyone takes the opportunity to attend a session. Workplace facilitator Gerry Hopkirk, and a former acting Dean of Education at 91探花, will be offering two new sessions over the next few weeks. The overarching theme will be 鈥淐reating A Positive Workplace Environment.鈥 The format will be interactive using simulations, discussion, and storytelling. Topics will include: 路 building trust and eliminating betrayal, 路 respecting diversity, 路 working collaboratively, 路 making safe change, 路 resolving conflict positively, and 路 building on strengths. These sessions are an outcome of the 2012 employee engagement survey and have the support of the University鈥檚 senior administration who agree that this is a very important topic to help drive a positive workplace culture. We would encourage you to attend one of the two sessions below and would ask that you please register with Human Resources at humanresource@upei.ca for one of the following dates/times: Wednesday, January 29, 2014 Time: 1:00鈥3:00 Location: TBA Wednesday, February 5, 2014 Time: 10:00鈥12:00 Location: TBA Thank you.
