EMPLOYEE
TRAINING There is a whole lotta training going on! In addition to some employees who have required training they must complete for various certifications, there is special training for supervisors and mandatory training for all employees. Advanced Supervisory Practices In early April, several Village employees attended the follow-up to the UNC School of Government’s Fundamental Supervisory Practice course, Advanced Supervisory Practices. The first course was taken over several months. This second course is over two days. Eleanor Green taught the first class and Rick Rocchetti will be on the island June 12, 2024, to complete day two. The goals of this program are to identify and practice applying skills to improve a supervisor’s emotional intelligence at work, provide a framework to use for solving problems and coaching employees to increase individual and organizational effectiveness, review and practice using skills needed to resolve conflict and manage difficult performance issues, increase supervisor’s awareness around team dynamics and team climate and provide a lens for analyzing team performance. Mandatory Training All Village staff have been assigned five training courses through the KnowBe4 training system. This training is required for all staff and needs to be completed by May 23, 2024. Employees should have received an email from KnowBe4 which includes the list of courses and the link to start training. Employee Training continued on Page 2
