Organizational Development, Equity, and Health

  OLE is proud to offer new assessment guides for staff and supervisors that will enable us to see how Pathways participants are "living their learning." Our hopes for the Pathways Assessment Guides : Learners may use these tools as a self-check to consider their strengths and areas for growth Supervisors may use these tools as a conversation and coaching guide for clarifying expectations and establishing developmental possibilities with both individuals and teams Learners are encouraged to submit completed guides to OLE for recognition and encouragement on personal and professional development UAlberta employees will be inspired to reflect on professional development and to celebrate learning! Please note: the assessment guides are available for all staff to complete without having participated in any of the Pathways Learning Series courses.   For more information about the Pathways Learning Series, please visit: www.hrs.ualberta.ca/en/Learning...
