Fort Hays State University Relations and Marketing

The Management Development Center at Fort Hays State University will offer “Supervising with Confidence” this June as a part of its summer workshop series.

Training begins at 8:30 a.m. Thursday, June 16, in FHSU’s Memorial Union, Trails Room. Participants will have the opportunity to develop their supervisory skills using an assessment, a hands-on game and small-group activities.

Seth Kastle, instructor of leadership studies, and Sabrina William, director of the MDC, will facilitate.

The workshop will provide participants with a working knowledge and understanding of the five fundamental supervisory skills: guiding the work, organizing the work, developing staff, managing performance and managing relations. Participants will also discover ways to strengthen relationships with their employers and others.

“It can be difficult to examine yourself and your weaknesses. However, it is necessary in order to become an effective supervisor,” Kastle said. “This workshop will equip managers and soon-to-be managers for just that.”

Each person who completes the workshop will receive a completion certificate.

The cost is $219. Registrations received prior to June 10 are appreciated. Hays Area Chamber of Commerce members are eligible for a 15-percent discount.

The MDC is recognized by the Society for Human Resource Management to offer professional development credits for SHRM’s Certified Professional and Senior Certified Professional ratings. This program is valid for seven credits. For more information about certification or recertification, visit shrmcertification.org.
