The first modules of the online Management Orientation Program (that we initially tried to develop using Blackboard) are now available on Knowledge Link.
The five modules include:
Part 1 – A Manager’s Responsibilities (management expectations)
Part 2 – Introduction to Performance Management
Part 3 – Setting Clear Expectations
Part 4 – Giving Feedback (feedback video and developing a written warning letter exercise)
Part 5 – Online Management Orientation Review Quiz
Suggested Strategies for Using Program
Have newly hired supervisors or those newly promoted to supervisory positions complete the online program within a specified time frame (e.g., during the first two to four months of their appointment). This expectation can be included in the offer letter, Introductory Period Plan or annual performance appraisal.
In addition, newly hired and promoted supervisors can be required to take the Essentials of Management course within a specified time frame (e.g., within one or two years of appointment)
Refer current supervisors who may need a refresher on performance management to take the online program
