Making Space for Growth This Summer

It’s summer. Two words that bring to mind ideas of rest, relaxation, and vacation to many of us at WFU. While summer provides an opportunity to catch up on work and plan for the next academic year, HR’s Learning and Development (HRLD) team also encourages all faculty and staff to make time to step away, breathe, and take care of their well-being.

Growing Individually

One important way to prioritize yourself is to think about your personal and professional development. Remember that through Workday Learning there are thousands of LinkedIn Learning courses to discover, both self-paced and on demand. The HRLD website offers a variety of recommended courses and resources to expand your skills, with options to learn through reading, listening, and watching. These offerings, which include topics like communication, customer service, and time management, are also updated throughout the year.

Growing Teams

Another summer priority is the development of your team or department. The HRLD team enjoys working with groups through Customized Solutions and Services. Whether it’s using assessments to build self-awareness, helping teams improve communication, or designing trust-building activities, HRLD enjoys partnering with leaders who want to support their people.

Growing on Your Schedule

Remember to take some well-deserved time for yourself this summer. The HRLD team stands ready as a trusted partner and advisor, offering support for professional, team, and leadership development throughout the summer and into the academic year ahead. Contact us any time at .
