  • Workers' Compensation & Return-to-Work Program: This session is designed to provide a general overview of the workers' compensation process, including procedures and required forms. Also discussed is the Return-to-Work Program. This class is recommended for supervisors and managers. This session is facilitated by Risk Management.
  • Smoking Cessation: About 25% of adult Americans smoke and most of them have quit at least once. Most public venues and many employers have instituted smoke-­‐free policies. More and more, supervisors, Human Resources, co-­‐workers, and family members want to find out how to support smokers to do their best to unlearn unhealthy, complicated behaviors. This wellness seminar helps participants that smoke determine how ready they are to make a change in their smoking habits. They explore the reasons people smoke and attempt to quit, identifying their own reasons for quitting. Discussion focuses on the daily triggers associated with smoking, strategies and tools to help set that quit date and continue smoke-­‐free, and the benefits of tobacco cessation. Family and co-­‐workers learn ways to support smokers in their attempts to quit. Resources for tobacco cessation are provided. This is facilitated by our Employee Assistance Program provider.
  • The Art of Successful Coaching: This session focuses on what coaching is and how it can improve your management skills and working relationships. Participants will learn the role of a coach and some successful techniques to help improve the quality of performance.
  • Employee Recognition and Engagement: This session provides information on employee recognition and employee engagement and how the two are intertwined. It also provides some guidance on how to increase employee engagement. It will address issues such as: Why recognize? How does this impact the bottom line? What can managers do? What programs are already in place at your institution?
  • Asset User: Staff members that maintain asset information for their department will learn the responsibilities of the asset user and reporting activities for asset management at UNT.
