SLCC Employee Headshots now Handled by OneCard

 


Starting Feb. 28, 2022, all Salt Lake Community College staff and faculty portraits will be handled by OneCard stations located at the Taylorsville, Jordan and South City campuses. Photographers with Institutional Marketing and Communications will no longer be handling requests for employee reference photos published on the college’s website.


The use of OneCard locations makes it easier and more convenient for new and existing employees to simply walk up and have their headshots taken and delivered by OneCard – no appointment necessary. Delivery of photos will take place through OneCard.


OneCard sites are open Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.


Locations are as follows:

  • Taylorsville Redwood – STC-251
  • South City – Information Desk, 1-061-C
  • Jordan – Huval Student Center Info Commons Desk)


Group photos:


If you wish to have an employee group photo of your department or division, please, arrange to have someone within your offices take that photo.

LinkedIn Learning Course

Building Resilience

34 minutes

Have trouble getting by when the going gets tough? Everyone wants to perform well when the pressure's on, but a lot of us withdraw in times of stress or adversity. If you can build your resilience, you'll have an easier time facing new challenges and earn a valuable skill to offer employers. In this course, Kelley School of Business professor and professional communications coach Tatiana Kolovou explains how to bounce back from difficult situations, by building your "resiliency threshold." She outlines five training techniques to prepare for difficult situations, and five strategies for reflecting on them afterward. Find out where you are on the resilience scale, identify where you want to be, and learn strategies to close the gap.

Note: This course was featured in Market WatchInc.FortuneForbes, and Entrepreneur.

Learning objectives

  • Define the term resilience.
  • Identify strategies for facing rejection in your day to day life.
  • Recognize the skills you can practice to increase your resilience.
  • Explore reflection strategies you can use during a situation in order to build resilience.
  • Examine five post-event resilience building strategies using real-world examples.

LinkedIn JEDI Collection Learning Course

Diversity: The Best Resource for Achieving Business Goals

“Diversity and inclusion” has become such a familiar phrase that it’s easy to lose sight of what it means. Workplaces that incorporate a wide range of human experience—across gender, culture, age, sexual preference, and other differences—are more adaptable and more innovative places to work than their more homogeneous competitors. Not surprisingly, they do better on recruitment, retention, productivity—basically any measure of success you can think of. This course explains how to improve your organizations diversity and inclusion by thoughtfully examining the challenges and opportunities they present. Learn how to support a diverse workforce through wise management, carefully structured conversations, and a culture designed to celebrate the unique value of each team member. This course includes videos from: Jane Hyun, an internationally renowned executive coach and leadership strategist Kathryn Minshew, founder and CEO of The Muse, a career discovery platform Wendy Luhabe, South African social entrepreneur Nilofer Merchant, marketing expert and TED speaker (“Sitting Is the Smoking of Our Generation”) Claire Groen, vice president of litigation and deputy general counsel at Amway Note: This course was produced by Big Think. We are pleased to host this content in our library.
