• Managing Performance: Beyond the Appraisal Process

  A Supervisory Workshop presented by Dennette Moul on Wednesday, June 20 from 9-11 a.m. in the Stern Center, room 102. This workshop is the second in the series of supervisory workshops offered. One of the most difficult tasks a supervisor has is managing another’s performance. What is vital to any culture is the realization that what is tolerated is taught and this means a supervisor must set acceptable expectations and then hold employees accountable. This workshop will explore effective techniques for setting and maintaining high personal and professional accountability. The workshop will look at appropriate tools for developing a culture of excellence while understanding the need to appropriately deal with inappropriate and/or unproductive performers. The workshop will examine the progressiveness of discipline and explore how and when it is ok to help someone move out of the organization. To register for this session, please access the CLIQ online registration system via the employee Gateway, call ext. 1503 or send an e-mail to devwell@dickinson.edu.

• Weight Watchers-Summer Swimsuit Session

  Swimsuit weather has arrived and the summer session of Weight Watchers can help you get into shape. The PointsPlus program has been rigorously tested and reflects more than a decade of innovation that will now be presented to members as the best weight loss program possible to help motivate people to eat more healthfully and help them succeed at losing weight. The primary difference between PointsPlus and the previous Points program is that point values calculated are based on the 4 major nutrients – protein, fat, carbohydrates and fiber and how they are each converted to energy in the body. In other words – all calories are not created equal.
  
  Are you ready to kick-off the summer with a goal of feeling better and looking great? If so, please register for this 12-week at-work Weight Watchers program offered Wednesdays from June 6 through August 29 at noon - 1:00 p.m. The support you need and the fellowship offered can have tremendous results.
