Mary has announced that a new suite of free, on-campus workshops has launched to support you in the way you manage your interactions at work, whether you’re a people manager, aspiring people manager or team member. At the heart of the workshops is Rangatiratanga: Rangahia te pūkenga, rangahia te wānanga, rangahia te tirahou – Weaving skills, weaving knowledge, weaving people capabilities.
The new People Management Workshops will help you to develop your communication and relationship-building skills and learn valuable team management strategies. While the topics are primarily aimed at People Managers, there are opportunities for all staff to participate.
Developed by our own Human Resources (HR) and Learning and Development (L&D) teams, the workshops are purpose-built for Unitec, and incorporate our Te Noho Kotahitanga values and the latest best practice. The sessions will be concise – just one to two hours – and will be repeated a few times a year, so if you miss the first one, keep an eye out for the next listing.
