University-wide Diversity Training

Dear Notre Dame Staff,

In his September 2015 Letter on Diversity and Inclusion, Fr. John outlined several initiatives to promote diversity and inclusion within our Notre Dame community. He asked each of us to “recommit ourselves to building a community of respect, love and mutual support” at Notre Dame.

In the spirit of meeting these commitments, University-wide training programs for all staff have been developed on the subject of diversity and inclusion at Notre Dame. We are pleased to announce additional offerings of these programs, listed below. All staff who have not already done so are asked to attend the appropriate program.

If you are a manager, please bring this to the attention of your staff and ask them to enroll in the appropriate training.

We Are All ND

For non-supervising staff. All staff not currently in a supervisory role are asked to attend We Are All ND, an interactive and engaging half-day workshop that encourages each of us to take ownership of our campus environment and do our part to build and maintain a culture of inclusion where all are welcomed.

Multicultural Competencies / Hiring Game Changers

For managers/supervisors. All managers and supervisors of staff are asked to attend Multicultural Competencies / Hiring Game Changers. The first session of this day-and-a-half workshop will define the University’s Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan, explain multicultural competencies and discuss their benefits to Notre Dame. The second session will help you identify and hire “game changers” — top talent motivated to move your organization forward.

Registration

Upcoming session dates/times are listed below. Please note that additional dates will be added to the calendar once the below classes are filled. Sessions fill quickly, so please register in eNDeavor to secure your preferred session. Please work with your manager to ensure that your normal work schedule permits the training offering you choose.

Manager Moments: Cohort Learning Opportunity

Limited spots remain for Frontline Supervision- a university-wide cohort learning series for current supervisors and managers.

Register via Endeavor.

Program Description

Frontline Supervision is a series of eight half-day sessions designed to develop the skills necessary to lead at the frontline of supervision at the University of Notre Dame. Each session provides maximum “how-to” skills which can be applied immediately on the job. The University is committed to training ALL staff who supervise others to ensure a professional and values-based approach to leading people.

As frontline supervisors, participants will need to be able to:

  • Understand their role as a “supervisor-leader” in today’s team environment
  • Organize time, workspace, and work processes
  • Motivate and reinforce good work efforts
  • Plan and appropriately delegate work assignments
  • Give feedback that positively coaches for good performance
  • Learn to confidently conduct difficult discussions about performance issues
  • Mediate conflict for a “win-win” resolution

This program is designed to allow leaders to develop and enhance skills within a cohort of up to 25 participants. By creating a shared experience, participants have the opportunity to build relationships with colleagues from different departments and divisions. Learning methods include case studies, small and large group discussions, and practice exercises. Additional tools and activities include:

  • Program Design
  • Pre-and Post-Training Competency Assessment
  • Individual Competency Development Plan
  • Pre-work and Supplemental Learning Resources
  • Reflective Learning Journals
  • Capstone Project at Series Summit

Attendance Requirements

Frontline participants and their managers are required to attend the series Kickoff, which is a pre-program orientation to understand their responsibilities in reinforcing the competencies taught in the program. Participants are also expected to attend the series Summit where they will present their capstone projects. The participants’ managers are invited back for the closing reception immediately after the Summit.

All sessions will be held in the Grace Hall Lower Level Training Room from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The Series Summit will be held at the Morris Inn, Smith Ballroom. Certificates of completion with a possible 3.6 CEUs (Continuing Education Units) are awarded to those attending at least seven sessions and the Summit.
