Description: Listening is a vehicle to get the information needed to accomplish work objectives. In today's information-saturated work environment, everyone needs to be able to tune out the "noise" and tune in to what's important. In this seminar, we explore a listening approach that balances the demands of getting the information that you need with the awareness that every interaction provides an opportunity to cement solid work relationships with others.
Starting January 1, 2025, New York became the first state to offer paid time off for prenatal care and pregnancy-related medical needs. Under this policy, employees who are pregnant or trying to become pregnant receive an additional 20 hours of paid leave for prenatal medical care. You can access Rensselaer’s updated Paid Time Off Policy 1300.8 HERE.
Description: In this seminar, Managers and Supervisors will learn from each other and our Facilitators about important topics such as the Employee Value Proposition and Employee Experience, the six fundamental Leadership competencies at Rensselaer, and experience several “Supervisory Simulations” with colleagues. In addition, the importance of coaching employee performance, providing both rewards and recognition, employment law fundamentals and tools for building team capacity will be explored.
Description: At Rensselaer, we maintain that “leadership” involves a learnable set of actions and behaviors that is available to everyone. In this workshop, participants will explore the tenants that comprise everyday leadership and discuss the behaviors that define leadership not as positional or based on title, but rather on values and actions.
