April professional development opportunities

In the 2023 UA Employee Feedback Survey, employees called attention to the need for more professional development opportunities. UA HR’s Talent Acquisition and Development team is highlighting training collections monthly, and specific to the employee feedback received.

April’s recommendations include:

Respectful Communication in the Workplace
UA employees indicated the importance of open and honest two-way communication, as well as the ability to share opinions candidly without judgment or retaliation. The Respectful Communication in the Workplace collection explores ways to facilitate and engage in safe and authentic communication by exploring interpersonal skills, respect, practicing positive communication, and overcoming the fear of speaking up. Consider completing these courses individually or as a team.

Process Improvement and Efficiency
UA employees indicated efficient work processes are important to being productive and effective in their roles. The Lean Six Sigma and Change Management collection contains courses on improving business capabilities and strategic agility through change management, developing talent, practical execution, measuring progress, and culture change.

These are not exhaustive collections. Take control of your development by exploring opportunities available at UA, and discussing opportunities with your supervisor. Upcoming and on-demand training opportunities are available at the UA Employee Engagement and Development Center.
