New Employee Development

Designed for employees in their first three years at Elon, these programs encourage professionals to consider their career path and professional goals. Programming runs throughout the year and includes workshops to enhance professional development, personal strength identification using a wide array of tools and assessments, teamwork strategies to meet organizational goals and creating an effective professional development plan.

Programs


Joining Elon Continuity Series  

A Lunch and Learn session on Change Management will be facilitated by Dr. Kate Panzer for employees who have been at Elon for less than a year.  The Joining Elon Continuity Series programs are also an opportunity to build relationships with other “new” Elon employees across campus.  Dr. Panzer will assist attendees with learning their preferred styles in approaching and dealing with change.  Attendees will complete a brief on-line assessment prior to attending the session and they will receive their individual results during the session.  Attendance will be limited to the first twenty attendees who register on the Office of Leadership & Professional Development website.  A buffet lunch will be provided. 

Mark these remaining dates on your calendars: Jun. 14, Jul. 12, and Aug. 9
 
 

Individual Development Facilitation

Our office is providing individual development facilitation sessions on a monthly basis. A knowledgeable, expert facilitator will be on campus one Friday afternoon every month to offer confidential individual sessions on professional and developmental goal planning. Once you register, you will receive two goal development guidebooks to assist you in preparing for your individual session. We are now scheduling for March and April. Please contact Ann Flaherty at x6123 (aflaherty2@elon.edu) for more information or to schedule a session.
