Congratulations to the 2019 graduates of the Supervisory Leadership Certificate Program!  The following supervisors have completed the certificate program during this past year:

• Greg Kannenberg
• Holly Keener
• Erin Van Daalwyk
• Alissa Warpinski

The Supervisory Leadership Certificate Program targeted to UW-Green Bay supervisors is a collaboration between the Wisconsin Small Business Development Center and Human Resources.  Participants complete core and elective courses which build leadership skills, invest in their employees, advance their departments, and move their careers forward.  If you have questions about the program, please see this blog post or feel free to contact Human Resources at hr@uwgb.edu or (920) 465-2390.

Each year, the University sponsors one employee to participate in the Leadership Green Bay program.  This program was established in 1983 by the Green Bay Area Chamber of Commerce and offers select individuals the unique opportunity to develop leadership skills while enhancing the well-being of the Green Bay area. Program goals include enhancing the participant’s knowledge of the Green Bay community; obtaining a greater awareness of issues that face the Green Bay area; enhancing leadership skills; and making an impact on the Green Bay Community.

The class professionals gather once a month October through May (following an overnight retreat in September) to learn about social issues, challenges, and opportunities facing the Green Bay area, get exposure to relevant leadership education and skills, and become community stewards. Each monthly gathering has a specific focus (from local government to education to the economy), and learners are immersed in a full-day interactive lesson that includes guest speakers, team-building exercises, and networking. The program culminates by participants organizing into teams, identifying social or public opportunities, and working on community projects that are designed to raise awareness of an issue, improve team skills, and effect change.

All UW-Green Bay employees are eligible to express interest in being considered.  Supervisors are also encouraged to nominate employees for participation in this program. If nominating an employee, please notify this person to determine if they are willing to participate before submitting.  After the deadline, one employee will be selected by the Position Review Committee, and will asked to complete the application materials representing UW-Green Bay.

In order to express interest in participation, or to nominate an employee, please complete the Interest Form. This form should be filled out and signed by the employee, their supervisor, and the Dean/Division Head (if applicable).  Completed forms must be received in the Human Resources office by Monday, March 11th for full consideration.

You are also welcome to visit https://www.greatergbc.org/workforce/leadership-green-bay/ for more information about this program.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact Human Resources at (920) 465-2390 or hr@uwgb.edu.

With direction and support from the Chancellor’s Council for Diversity and Inclusive Excellence, an online training has been developed related to mitigating implicit bias within the recruitment process. This is a great step forward in helping to mitigate bias (both intentional and unintentional) from the evaluation of applicants to ensure that no individual receives advantage or disadvantage based upon a protected status.

This training has been designed for participants in UW-Green Bay recruitments, including recruitment chairs and committee/panel members. Moving forward, all committee/panel members must successfully complete this training prior to gaining access to applicant materials in TAM. Information about accessing the training will be shared with recruitment chairs and their panels/committees as those members are identified during the recruitment process.

This new training requirement will be effective for any recruitments approved to move forward by Position Review Committee starting the week of February 4th, 2019. However, if you are participating in a recruitment which is ongoing and would like to take the training, or would like to take the training in anticipation of being involved in a recruitment in the future, you are welcome to do so by contacting Melissa Nash at nashm@uwgb.edu to receive enrollment information.

If you have questions about the implementation of this training, please feel free to contact the Office of Human Resources and Workforce Diversity at hr@uwgb.edu.

At the University of Wisconsin – Green Bay, we are committed to providing an excellent educational and workplace experience, characterized by innovation, transformation, and place. UW-Green Bay recognizes the impact that all supervisors have on the quality of work, level of productivity, and work attitude of the employees they direct. Supervisors contribute greatly towards the growth, loyalty, motivation, retention, team spirit, and development of employees who report to them.

Ongoing training of all UW-Green Bay supervisors is important. The University offers a program, Supervising for Success: Effective Management for the UW-Green Bay Workforce which assists both new and experienced leaders in developing skills that will help them maximize individual and team performance.

The next offering of this full, two-day session will be Monday, May 6, 2019 – Tuesday, May 7, 2019.  Topics that are included in this program include:

• Legal issues for supervisors
• Risk management and workers compensation
• Personnel guidelines and titling
• Governance structures
• Creating a diverse and inclusive workplace
• Position descriptions
• Recruitment and staffing
• Orientation and onboarding
