Boost your capability with our People Management Workshops

 
 
 


Tēnā koutou

We’re launching a new suite of free, on-campus workshops to support you in the way you manage your interactions at work, whether you’re a people manager, aspiring people manager or team member. At the heart of the workshops is Rangatiratanga: Rangahia te pūkenga, rangahia te wānanga, rangahia te tirahou – Weaving skills, weaving knowledge, weaving people capabilities.

 
 
 
 
 

Through our new People Management Workshops, you’ll develop your communication and relationship-building skills and learn valuable team management strategies. While the topics are primarily aimed at People Managers, there are opportunities for all staff to participate, and I encourage you to have a look at the topics to see what suits your own professional development needs.

 
 
 
 

Developed by our own Human Resources (HR) and Learning & Development (L&D) teams, the workshops are purpose-built for Unitec, and incorporate our Te Noho Kotahitanga values and the latest best practice in the workshop subject matter. The sessions will be concise – just one to two hours – and will be repeated a few times a year, so if you miss the first one, keep an eye out for the next listing.

Many thanks to our HR and L&D teams for pulling this programme together to support our staff, and demonstrating rangatiratanga by sharing their expertise so we can all continue to add to our own kete o te wānanga (baskets of knowledge).
