Doing the Right Thing: Online Training

Maintaining a positive work environment, and promoting a workplace free from discrimination and harassment, supports the academic and research mission of the University by ensuring all members of our community can contribute to their fullest potential.

CUHR is pleased to announce a new online training program, "Doing the Right Thing," developed collaboratively by colleagues across the University in accord with Columbia's Equal Employment Opportunity and Nondiscrimination Policies and Procedures on Discrimination, Discriminatory Harassment and Sexual Harassment. 

There are two courses available, one for managers and one for staff.

To take either course, please log in to  Skills @ Columbia with your UNI and password, and then select Columbia Catalog of Courses folder followed by "Doing the Right Thing."

Click here for a step by step guide to launching, running and completing the course.

If you encounter a Java error when you play the course, please contact your IT department to get the most recent version of Java loaded on your machine.

Spring 2012 courses are available in:

Managing Your SELF 
Managing Your WORK
Managing Your TEAM

We have revamped the catalog of classroom offerings to align with our most popular development requests.  Recognizing self management is just as important as managing others and managing the work we are responsible for, the new course listings highlights fundamental offerings for each of these skill areas.  Be sure to take a look at new courses that focus on career as well as personal development. 

All classroom courses are offered at the Studebaker building, 615 West 131st Street; the intercampus shuttle will take you to Studebaker from any CU campus. For more information on the intercampus shuttle schedule, please visit Columbia University Transportation Services.

 

 

All you need is your UNI and password to propel you into a gateway of online learning, at no charge to you, anytime, anywhere.

To help you find courses that interest you, our team has chosen the 50 best courses Skills @ Columbia offers. We have also mirrored online courses with our live training. You can log in and use the custom folders to easily access courses and build your own personalized learning plan. 

The HR Learning & Development team is pleased to announce our full Leadership Development Curriculum.

These programs have been designed specifically for Columbia University.  Many programs have been implemented with great success in various schools and departments, while others are new programs we have added this year.

Orientation is a timely opportunity for all new Faculty and Staff to explore life and resources at Columbia, as well as to learn about the benefits that suit your personal needs. This program is a helpful way to start employment on the right informational track.

Sometimes your school or department’s training needs can only be met through programs that are custom designed for your team. This might be due to a variety of factors — including content requirements, composition of your team members, number of staff, or other reasons.

We facilitate the professional development of schools and departments through a variety of services including customized training courses, leadership development programs, business planning, team-building sessions, staff retreats and meeting facilitation. Any member of our team would be pleased to meet with you to discuss the variety of consulting services available to your school or department.  

PAC training classes are scheduled and available for registration. For more information on PAC and upcoming training opportunities, please visit the PAC page on the Manager Toolkit.
