Learning Week

Sponsored by the Association for Talent Development, Employee Learning Week is an annual awareness campaign highlighting the important connection between continuous learning and organizational development. The annual campaign is the first week of December, but we are celebrating Employee Learning all month!

To promote this annual campaign HR Learning & Development is partnering with ComPsych/Guidance Resources, the Office of Information Technology, Wellness & Work-Life, Academic Impressions and others to encourage employees to take advantage of the many resources available to help them achieve their individual and organizational goals. New workshops, new facilitators, fun activities, professional development and skill building classes, prizes and more will help foster an environment of energy, exploration and growth!

To celebrate YOU and Employee Learning, we are Welcoming New Team Members and Instructors, Recognizing Others, Promoting New Courses, and Shining the Spotlight on Learning Resources throughout December.

We’ve added something special (prizes and surprises) to every learning experience. So please plan to participate!

Champions of Learning are individuals or teams that encourage individual and organizational development year-round. Perhaps they started a book club, shared a helpful learning tip at weekly meetings, established a goal for participating in professional development activities, or were the first to say, “We should team together to learn how to …!” Have a team or individual in mind?  Recognize a Champion of Learning!

With the use of technology and AI every increasing, it’s important that we stay connected face-to-face. So Wellness and Work-Life is officially declaring UA Disconnect Day on 12/12/24 to help keep the connection alive! Here are a few ways you can practice disconnecting to connect:

-Hold in-person meetings rather than virtual
-Instead of sending an email or Teams chat, connect in-person
-Rather than “lunching” at your desk and scrolling social media, go to lunch with others and without your phone!

Send Wellness and Work-Life a picture of you and your office disconnecting to connect for a chance to win some WellBAMA swag and a feature on Instagram.

The University of Alabama partners with Academic Impressions, an organization specializing in professional development resources for higher education, to provide faculty, staff, and students with access to training and development topics ranging from skills-based training, to leadership trainings, and more.
