HHSU Director's Corner
Eugene Collins
Colleagues and participants to our training, development, and instructional technology offerings, I'm pleased to share my third message as the Chief Learning Officer via our new HHSU newsletter. Each day we open our doors at the HHSU Rockville, Parklawn, and Switzer facilities to provide HHS employees the very best experience and value possible for their investments. Here are a few happenings to report on since we last communicated:
-
The SABA 5.4 Upgrade to our Learning Management System was competed and immediately cut the time and frustration we experienced managing employee IDs and passwords;
-
On Jun 2-4, 2009, we piloted Segment One of the Leadership In Context Program to 31 participants with prior supervisory experience who rated it 89% effective (good-to-excellent) in achieving program objectives;
-
Almost immediately following this event we delivered yet another new offering, the Essential Supervision Skills Course to 20 ‘new’ supervisors who for the most part possessed less than one year of supervisory experience. They rated the experience 94% effective in meeting their needs and the course objectives;
-
Mean-while, behind the scene we put the finishing touches on Segment One of another ‘new’ offering, the Dimensions of Leadership Program, that was delivered on June 16-18, 2009 at the Hubert H. Humphrey facility. We are building a comprehensive strategy to deploy these new training opportunities to our Regions and Field Offices.
To help get the word out on what were are doing for you, Christine Daley, our HHSU Marketing Representative, continues to attend OpDivs events sharing our good news, distributing hand-outs and gathering feedback for improvements. Until next time, we need you to continue using our online and instructor led courses and other services.
Sincerely,
Eugene Collins
