**Please note that the following opportunities are available to all faculty and staff.**



LinkedIn Learning 


LinkedIn Learning Course

Communicating Values

-35 minutes

Common values are the foundation of successful relationships and successful businesses. A company’s values should be the driver of every action, not just a sign on the wall. Learning how to effectively communicate your values can lead to stronger, better-performing teams that are more tightly aligned with company goals. In this course, instructor Mory Fontanez describes how to identify and communicate individual, team, and organizational values.

 


LinkedIn JEDI Collection Learning Course

Teaching Civility in the Workplace

Focusing on eradicating negative behaviors isn’t always enough to create a happy workplace. Employees and managers also need to learn what they should do to make their environment a respectful and pleasant one. In this course, join Catherine Mattice Zundel as she shares how to create a happier, healthier workplace by teaching civility and setting a good example with your own behavior. Learn about negative behavior as a social phenomenon, what microaggressions look like in action, and how to replace negative language with positive words. Plus, get tips for becoming a more active listener, standing up for yourself when you experience microaggressions and incivility, and coaching others.


All employees can utilize LinkedIn Learning: SLCC Learn or https://lnkd.in/gE9RCNW.

Caregiver Workshops for SLCC Employees (2021-2022)

Staff Development is proud to announce that we will be partnering with Salt Lake County 

Aging and Adult Services to offer a selection of caregiver workshops for SLCC Employees. This 

set of workshops assist SLCC employees who are caregivers in developing the skills needed to

manage an in-home care environment for better work-life balance. There is no cost for the 

workshops; but you must register for the workshops you want to watch virtually. Prior to each

workshop, employees who have registered will receive a link to join the meeting. Due to the

sensitive nature of the information shared in these workshops, they will not be recorded.

CC15 – Setting Good Care Boundaries

Virtual Training Session

Thursday, September 23rd

10:00 am – 11:00 am

 

Learning Objectives

“Healthy boundaries are not a wall. They are the gates and fences that allow you to enjoy the beauty of your own garden” (Lydia H Hall). Keep those you care for, and yourself, healthy and safe. Learn how to set and communicate clear boundaries.

CC25 – Care Planning Meetings

Virtual Training Session

Thursday, October 7th

10:00 am – 11:00 am

 

Learning Objectives

Collaboration with others is a vital part of the caregiving process. No one person has all the skill, energy, and ability to serve another. A care planning meeting, traditionally known as a family meeting, is held to ensure everyone involved knows the current care plan and their essential role in the care situation.

CC26 – Improving Communication

Virtual Training Session
Tuesday, November 9th

1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

 

Learning Objectives

Those who help the family’s main caregiver need current and easy access to information about the care receiver. A Care Binder, and other tools, such as online calendars or a blog, keep everyone in the loop. It gives others the ability to look at information on their own time, as needed—while lifting the daily communication burden away from the primary caregiver.

CC27 – Asking for Help

Virtual Training Session
Wednesday, February 23rd

10:00 am – 11:00 am

 

Learning Objectives

Asking for help takes courage. It means letting go—allowing others to serve in their way, and on their time schedule. Learn to ask for help in a way that gives others choice. Learn to make asking for help less stressful and more engaging.  

CC28 – Understanding Behaviors

Virtual Training Session
Thursday, March 17th

11:00 am – 12:00 pm

 

Learning Objectives

There are two types of behaviors that need to be considered when caring for others. 1) The true nature of a person—the behaviors they have always used; and, 2) The behaviors that are present because of a diagnosis, injury, or change in health condition. Learn to differentiate between the two. 

CC29 – Calming Behaviors

Virtual Training Session
Tuesday, April 12th

1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

 

Learning Objectives

Noah Elkrief said, “A behavior is not difficult. It is the story we write about the behavior that makes it difficult for us”. Learn to separate the behavior from the story. Learn to create calm environments that keep behaviors manageable.

CC30 – Working With Behaviors

Virtual Training Session
Tuesday, May 10th

10:00 am – 22:00 am

 

Learning Objectives

Professionals use a variety of words when discussing behaviors—examples include, coping, guiding, and managing. What is the difference in the three and what types of technique works best with each approach? Learn skills to influence the care environment, and learn when to ask for help. Some behaviors require assistance.
