A series of workshops through the month of February will offer attendees the opportunity to develop skills valuable in their professional and personal lives.

Organized by the Department of Human Resources’ Office of Employee Engagement and Development, they are free to UWindsor faculty and staff and include:

• Creating Accessible Webpages
  February 3, 10:30 a.m. to noon
  Accessible websites take into account the variety of ways that people with disabilities navigate the web and understand online content. This session will highlight how to add content to web pages to meet accessibility standards. It will also outline the basic principles for ensuring that the documents you upload to your site have the structural elements necessary for people using adaptive technology.
• How Can I Help You? Projecting a Professional Image in Person and Over the Telephone
  February 10, 9 to 10:30 a.m.
  Projecting a positive image is key to the provision of an exceptional service experience to our students and other service users. What we say and how we say it impacts how others perceive the quality and effectiveness of the service provided. This session will provide an overview of verbal and non-verbal communication strategies that can enhance our service interactions.
• Protecting Yourself from Financial Fraud
  February 23, 10 to 11 a.m.
  Financial fraud can take many forms, such as identity theft and fake emails or websites that trick you into providing personal financial information. This session will highlight the most common types of financial fraud, tips to prevent you from being a victim of fraud and what to do if you think you have been a victim.
• Moving Through Change and Transition
  February 25, 10:30 a.m. to noon
  In today’s workplaces, change is a constant. We often have no control over the changes, but we are expected to rapidly transition and adapt to the new realities. This session will explore the change and transition process, common emotions and behaviours associated with change and strategies for moving forward.
