For HR Managers
UBC Human Resources is encouraging Managers to consider participating in the following research project conducted out of the University of Auckland (NZ), which has UBC Ethics Approval:
This is an invitation to first and middle level managers to participate in a study that will explore the decision making process and methods used in allocating professional development resources to professional staff. This study will include participants from tertiary institutions in Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
This research project explores a critical element of developing a workforce that is resilient to change. By gathering diverse opinions from a variety of line managers across Australia, Canada and New Zealand the goal is to identify methods and processes that will assist managers in challenging or supporting their perspective on how to develop individual and/or group resilience.
If you consider yourself a first or middle level manager responsible for two or more professional staff and you would like to volunteer to participate in this study, please read the attached document to better understand how you can participate.
