The first Inclusive commitment of Aberdeen 2040 is to “care for the wellbeing, health and safety of our diverse community, supporting and developing our people to achieve their full potential”.
One the ways in which we aim to achieve this objective is to provide our Managers/Team Leaders and Academic Line Managers with the skills and knowledge to feel confident and empowered to support their staff throughout the duration of their employment. These interactive sessions will also provide a great opportunity to network and share practice with colleagues from Directorates and Schools.
We have renamed the training to extend access to colleagues who may not be in a middle management role but who still have line management responsibilities and will also benefit from attending the modules. If you engaged with middle management programme last year the modules remain the same so no requirement to attend again, however you are welcome to book on the new modules that have been added to this years’ schedule.
Aims
Colleagues from key areas across the University have contributed to the delivery providing you with their expertise to support you in the operational aspects of your role. The modular approach is designed so that you can choose which sessions you would like to attend to enhance your knowledge and skills in that particular area. However, a discussion with your line manager is recommended to help identify development needs and planning around attendance.
Launch event
We would actively encourage participation in the online Launch event where Karl Leydecker will be setting the Management Modules in the context of Aberdeen 2040 and managing teams in a University setting. The event will take place online on the 6th March from 14.05 to 15.05. Please see booking information below to register for this and all other Modules.
Attendance
All modules will be delivered face to face and online (please note face to face sessions will have limited places due to venue capacity). The modules will be delivered twice throughout the year.
We would be really grateful if you have booked to attend a module that you are able to commit to joining on the day (extenuating circumstances being an exception) .The facilitator reserves the right to cancel the session if the attendance falls below 10 people prior to the event or on the day.
Reminder e-mails will be sent two weeks prior to the module date. Please note the Teams link in your calendar to access online sessions or it can also be found on your course booking.
