Development Opportunities

Making it Okay Not to Know (Presented by Organizational Excellence)

Uncertainty is everywhere.  But what if we could make it comfortable and even joyful not to know? What if we reimagined uncertainty and lack of clarity as an opportunity for deep learning? How would our work feel if we focused more on questions and less on answers? And, importantly, how can we build inclusive cultures that thrive on testing possibilities rather than getting things exactly right? During this session, we will use the foundation of neuroscience as a tool to address the paralysis and fear that often accompany the need to try something new or navigate through profound uncertainty.

Presenters:
Catherine Lilly, Senior Consultant - Higher Education, Segal
Allison Vaillancourt, Vice President & Senior Consultant, Organizational Effectiveness - Segal
When: September 9, 2021, 1:00 p.m to 2:15 p.m.

Benefits and Wellness (UVAHR Offerings)

NEW RESOURCE TO ASSIST ACADEMIC DIVISION EMPLOYEES IN FINANCIAL NEED

The Community Resource Service is excited to announce a new UVA initiative in support of employees in the Academic Division. The Employee Assistance Fund (EAF) is a critical resource for employees who encounter financial hardship due to an unexpected, non-recurring situation.

The EAF is truly a chance for employees to support one another; in order to provide assistance to those who need it, the fund relies on donations. You can take steps to support your colleagues by:

• Reading details about applying and donating to the Fund on the website
• Helping spread the word by sharing the introductory video or this social media post with your colleagues
• Considering donating in Workday, or if you need help, apply for assistance

NEW LOOK FOR WORKDAY BENEFITS BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 1

Beginning September 1, UVA employees will notice a new look when enrolling in or making changes to their health, retirement, and other electable benefits in Workday. This more user-friendly layout will make benefit selections and changes easier! The new “tiles” layout is not exclusive to Open Enrollment. New hires who are making their first benefit elections and current employees who need to change a benefit plan due to a Qualified Life Event will experience this new layout.
