The Division of Human Resources and our partners at CDPHP, Inc. know how important it is to provide you with opportunities and support in answering questions about your health and medical plan benefits. On Tuesday, September 17, 2024, faculty and staff enrolled in Rensselaer's medical plans with CDPHP can meet with our dedicated nurse and/or a member services representative in person at the Heffner Alumni House from 12pm to 3pm. Registration is required.
Virtual and remote work creates both challenges and opportunities to work as a cohesive team focused on achieving results. This workshop explores the fundamentals of Rensselaer’s Flexible Work Program, teaches leaders how to communicate more effectively in a virtual environment, focus their team by keeping team members and their goals visible and in sight and enhance trust among members separated by time and/or distance.
Twp Part Virtual Workshop: Session #1: September 26th, 2024, 9am-11am. Session #2: Tuesday October 1st 2pm-4pm
Our success, both personally and professionally, is largely determined by our ability to communicate effectively with a variety of people. The Extended DISC system is based on behavioral theories that have been used for over one hundred years. In this workshop, participants will receive individualized Extended DISC reports (based on the completion of the Extended DISC questionnaire) that reflect both their “natural” and “adjusted” behavioral styles and learn strategies which promote successful interactions with others.
The Division of Human Resources is pleased to provide a schedule for live, interactive learning and development opportunities in FY25. The schedule includes workshops and seminars exploring leadership, personal development, communications, career planning and other essential professional skills and can be reviewed here. Come learn and share your knowledge and experiences with your colleagues!
Effective Monday July 22, 2024 the Division of Human Resources will have new office hours. The office will be open from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through Friday.

The formal performance review can be an extremely powerful tool for the performance leader. This workshop presents a collaborative approach to the formal performance review. Participants learn how to prepare employees for a review, how to manage expectations during the session, and how to create an atmosphere that encourages openness about opportunities and plans for the future.
