Larae Elias, associate director for talent management, organized this series.
“The sessions, which involve various different topics in the series, help give the participants a great comprehensive understanding of the foundational factors of supervising and managing their employees to be productive and creative and successful,” Elias said.
The presenters are from different departments within UTRGV or Human Resources.
Jessica Sanchez, an instructional developer/designer for the Center for Online Learning and Teaching Technology, attended the Compensation and Classification Processes session Tuesday in the Student Union on the Edinburg campus.
“We’re supervisors, so we looked at the [Human Resources] website, and, also, my boss, my director, [Francisco Garcia] also urged us, all his supervisors, to take these training sessions,” Sanchez said.
Sanchez said she enjoyed the session and looks forward to attending more of them.
“I like the idea that it’s broken down,” she said. “It helps me learn the different aspects of [the topic].”
