UAB Staff Council, in partnership with UAB Learning and Development, will offer a free session to staff on “Taking Charge of Your Career.” The professional development opportunity is Tuesday, February 13 from 1 – 2 p.m. at the Alumni House.
The session is the first of a three-part workshop “Delivering Feedback for Performance.” Stay tuned for two additional sessions that will be delivered throughout 2024.
This three-part staff development series will focus on the following areas:
- Techniques and best practices for giving and receiving feedback that can serve as a catalyst for improved performance;
- Using feedback to reveal helpful next steps to ignite your career development path forward; and
- Improving confidence in pursuit of personal career interests.
Taking Charge of Your Career will be facilitated by L&D's Amber Anderson and Tammy White, and registration is required to attend. Interested staff may register via this link.
The session will offer UAB Staff the tools to take charge of their career, crafting it into the career they enjoy. Amber and Tammy will workshop with staff on performance management, feedback, confidence, and more.
With limited parking spaces at the Alumni House, employees are encouraged to walk or carpool to the event. Feel free to bring along your favorite cup of coffee and join in as we learn to craft careers we love.
