Spring 2025 RISE Professional Development Retreat eewest2 Fri, 12/13/2024 - 10:27

UIS is once again offering a half-day Professional Development Retreat as part of our Rise initiative. This semester’s retreat will take place Friday, January 31, and is focused on Workplace Communication. All civil service, academic professional staff and faculty are welcome to attend to learn how to communicate with anyone in any circumstances in the workplace.

In response to our feedback last year, we will be hosting a morning and afternoon session so that those departments that need to be staffed at all times are able to attend. There will be two workshop sessions (six topics to choose from), a keynote speaker, and a box lunch. The keynote speaker and all workshops will be available in both the morning and afternoon sessions.

We hope to see you there on Jan. 31!

Employee Development Series: Building a Positive Workplace Through Customer Service Values hbruc3 Mon, 05/20/2024 - 09:51

We are excited to announce the next installment of our Employee Development Series: Building a Positive Workplace Through Customer Service Values. Right now, too many higher education institutions do not reflect positive and proactive workplace cultures and values. This has a direct impact on the customer service experience of our student, faculty, and staff as well as our broader community. This session will focus on how we can build better customer service experiences at UIS and will include presentations by the College of Health, Science and Technology Interim Dean, Travis Bland, and the Customer Service Improvement Committee (CSIC) Chair, Anne-Maire Hanson, followed by activities led by the CSIC team.

Please joins us for the April Employee Development Session: Search Committee and Search Chair Orientation. This session will be presented by the UIS Access and Equity Office and a panel of experienced search chairs and search committee members.

Effective hiring for the university is critical to our long-term success as a learning institution that serves its students and staff well.

All faculty and staff may be asked to participate on a search committee. If you have ever considered serving on a search committee, and you want to learn more about it, this session is for you. If you have previously served on a search committee, but you need a refreshed on the process, or you want to learn more about becoming a search chair, this session is for you.

In this session, attendees will:

Learn what it takes to be an effective search committee member.
Learn how to be an effective search committee chair.
Learn how you can support your search committee as a hiring manager.

The session will be in-person in PAC 154 from 10 to 11:30 a.m.
