Black Mental Health Week
The Counseling and Testing Services Program for Counseling Diverse Students invites you to the inaugural Black Mental Health Week starting January 24th and concluding January 27th! In collaboration with IDEA, Student Affairs, and Recreational Sports, the week will include events like the Black Mental Health Fair with free BBQ and trap yoga. Learn more at https://idea.unt.edu/event/black-mental-health-week.
Employee Experience Survey
In order to determine ways to better support our faculty and staff, we invite you to take the UNT Employee Experience Survey. The survey will build upon recent Gallup results from the fall, and will help each division VP develop unit-appropriate plans. In addition, the VPs will also initiate focus groups in their divisions to hear first-hand from staff, including how we can maintain required staffing but provide schedule flexibility that has become so common outside of higher education.
Winter Weather Preparedness
UNT Staff Senate At Home Academy presents UNT Emergency Preparedness on Jan. 26 at 3:00 p.m. Guest speaker Julie Elliott will provide weather tips that will help you prepare and promote safety this season. Join via Zoom at https://unt.zoom.us/j/83554616229.
UNT Supervisor Training
HR is hosting training to aid supervisors in assessing flexibility options that may be feasible for your unit. We have seen flexible work rise in terms of demand from both current and prospective employees and it is crucial that we evaluate flexibility in order to not only retain valued employees but also to be competitive in your recruitment efforts.
You are invited to join us for a live training session on Thursday, January 27 from 2:30-3:30pm by registering Flexible Work - UNT Supervisor Training (2022). This session will provide:
• Strategies for assessing department operational needs/position responsibilities for flexible work options
• Strategies for assessing meeting-free work time options
• Resource information procedures and requirements under the Flexible Work Arrangement policy
The training will be recorded and uploaded to Bridge for future reference following the live session.
