Team Building While Thinking Outside the Box This workshop is by appointment and is intended for intact work teams. Kent State University relies more and more on teams to innovate, problem solve, and continuously improve performance. Understanding and capitalizing on individual strengths and approaches to group processes is crucial to creating high performance teams. Participants complete an online self-assessment to learn to work from their strengths by identifying their most natural team role, while giving them added appreciation for the contributions of others. As a result, team innovation and productivity increase as conflict and project-cycle time decrease. Participants will receive a customized report on their strengths and opportunities and an aggregate group report indicating overall team strengths and team opportunities for improvement.
Walk and Talk: Sustainability Explore some campus sustainability features, updates and improvements with Kent State’s Sustainability Manager, Melanie Knowles.
Interview Dynamics Do you have a plan when interviewing candidates? Do you have a tough time gathering information from potential employees?

Learners will create behavioral questions to give them the best chance to gather candidate information, develop a candidate evaluation strategy to achieve the best results - before, during and after the interview, and discover how to guide the interview conversation to get the answers to make the best hire.
