Boost faculty and staff morale by developing a habit of appreciation and gratitude.

Overview

Faculty and staff morale is at an all-time low across most institutions in higher education, and this puts your department or unit at risk of increasing levels of burnout, decreased productivity and, ultimately, higher turnover. One way you can start to make a difference is by fostering a work environment where praise, appreciation, and gratitude are front and center.

Join a panel of academic leaders and discover tips, strategies, and new methods for how you can provide praise and recognition that is meaningful, authentic, and consistent. We recognize that the needs of faculty and staff vary across disciplines and career levels, and we know that your team is likely working in a hybrid environment, so we’ll make sure you walk away with a variety of ways for you to better celebrate the accomplishments, effort, and energy of your faculty and staff.

Who should attend?

This event is designed for any/all Department Chairs, Heads, and/or Program Directors who are interested in brainstorming new ways to recognize and celebrate the contributions of faculty and staff throughout their department. Other academic leaders, such as Deans, Associate/Assistant Deans, and those in Faculty Affairs, are also encouraged to attend, since the practice of recognition should be shared by all.
