Leveraging On-the-Job Opportunities to Grow Your Employees
Attend an EAP workshop for supervisors
The Employee Assistance Program presents a seminar for supervisors regarding employee growth and development on Thursday, November 16 from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. in the Grupp Fireside Lounge.
One of the key reasons employees leave organizations is a lack of opportunity to grow and develop. Managers who understand how to empower their employees to take on new challenges not only build organizational capability but ensure their employees remain engaged and motivated to contribute. In this session, you’ll learn how to listen in a way that identifies opportunities to encourage employee growth and tips for overcoming barriers to employee development.
If you are interested in attending, please RSVP to Mary Braun at Ext. 2240 or at braun5@canisius.edu.
