Manage Competing Demands & Feel Connected To The Institutional Mission

Frontline staff are being tasked with dealing with more than ever before, requiring skills in customer service, technology, risk management, de-escalation techniques, project management and more. They must not only get the job done well, but also triage a host of emergent needs.

Join us on June 12, 2024 when our presenter will not only recognize the expansiveness of issues – including stress, anxiety, folks looking for answers but being ‘bounced around’ and high emotions – but also address the skill building and training most necessary to manage these issues.

Learn how to dialogue to build trust within your department – and across campus departments. Explore scaffolding around expectations including why it is okay for staff draw boundaries, delegate or redirect, and build confidence to successfully complete the nuances and complexities of position responsibilities. 

Increase your confidence in balancing these critical responsibilities, helping everyone to prioritize self-care and to feel connected to the institutional mission. Help your entire staff feel proud of their contributions to the campus community!

This webinar is intended for frontline staff to attend, as well as anyone who supervises frontline staff and is looking to help them improve their skill sets.
