LeadingEdition: E-newsletter for Purdue University Supervisors

 

Leading Edge – Plus offers certificate your way
 

 

Effective March 1, 2006, Leading Edge – Plus certificate programming will be presented in three modules and will be accessible to supervisors in three user-friendly formats.

The formats

Online, Self-Paced Training Utilizing WebCT Vista: Estimated to take 10 hours to complete, the online format will allow you to earn the certificate at your own pace and on your own schedule. Just be sure you complete the program within the 2006 calendar year.

One Full-Day Facilitated Session: If you’d rather attend a facilitated session than study online, you have the option to complete all three modules through one all-day program.

Three Modules in Three Separate Sessions: Prefer a facilitated session, but can’t get away for a full day? Attend one 2˝-hour module at a time.


The modules

Human Resource Services' goal is to provide this beneficial information to supervisors in a thorough and concise manner. For this reason, Leading Edge is now comprised of the following modules:

Supervisory HR Training: An overview of federal employment legislation and Purdue specific policies, procedures, and practices. After successfully completing this program, participants will demonstrate the ability to research HR policies online utilizing the employee handbook, University Policies Web site, and the Business Procedures Manual. Participants will greatly enhance their ability to make decisions in a manner consistent with best-practice employment standards.

Change Management Training: This material covers key change management concepts, including understanding change, identifying common change dynamics, and providing helpful tools to effectively manage change. At the conclusion of this training, participants will have developed a better understanding of change at the individual, team, and organizational levels and will be able to more effectively manage change in the work environment.

Leadership, Teamwork, and Diversity Training: This module builds a better understanding of leadership, teamwork, and diversity in the work environment by providing participants with a general understanding of each concept, identifying key interrelationships between the concepts, and increasing individual awareness and application of these concepts. Participants will be able to apply these concepts in the work environment to enhance leadership skills, encourage teamwork, and promote diversity.
