Management in Action Series What is the series about?
Management in Action incorporates a broad range of information new or existing UNSW Managers needs to know to supervise their staff effectively in two important management dimensions: Workplace Relations and Leadership and People Skills.
Specifically designed for UNSW staff, this series is an opportunity to network with other managers; explore issues currently facing the tertiary sector; ensure that your management practice facilitates a safe, healthy and happy work environment; and learn about best practice leadership and management theory and practices.
Who can attend?
The modules are suitable for all UNSW managers - both Academic & Professional and Technical staff. Whilst the workshop target group is primarily staff in the 6 - 9 HEW bracket, some variance may apply and each application will be assessed on a case by case basis. Participants must be currently supervising staff to be eligible for this series.
Whilst it is not a requirement to complete all modules (with the exception of EO online which is mandatory) we do recommend that staff consider undertaking the entire series according to the recommended pathway to gain the maximum learning value.
