Leadership Development

Equal Employment Opportunity Institute (EEOI)

The Equal Employment Opportunity Institute (EEOI) helps managers understand important employment discrimination laws and how they impact day-to-day managerial decisions. Case studies and other activities are used to learn how to apply laws and principles to create fair, equitable, and inclusive work environments. The skills taught in EEOI enable managers to address complex diversity issues in a legally compliant manner.

Review of current EEO & AA federal and state laws Explanation of EEO/AA employer obligations Overview of impact EEO has on day-to-day operations Increased awareness on managing diversity Ideas for building an inclusive work environment

Audience: Supervisors and Managers

Dates: Thursday, 6/6/13, 8:30 am - 4:30 pm Friday, 6/7/13, 8:30 am - 2:30 pm

Presenter: Office of State Personnel

Location: Colvard North 5092

NOTE: Attending EEOI does not exempt supervisors from UNC Charlotte’s LEAD program.

Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)

If you are responsible for managing other employees on campus, you need to understand the specific issues facing educational institutions related to compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Overtime exemption decisions that classify a position as "FLSA Subject" or "FLSA Exempt" are much more complex than most people realize. Whether or not an employee is required to fill out a time sheet is only the critical, visible tip of much larger iceberg. Determining the exempt status of higher education positions is very complex and technical. Colleges and Universities have been particularly vulnerable to overtime exemption challenges, and as a manager you need to understand how the Fair Labor Standards Act impacts you.

Audience: Supervisors and Managers

Dates: Thursday, 3/14/13, 1:00 pm – 4:30 pm

Presenters: Hal Walter, Human Resources Jeff Jensen, General Counsel

Location: Colvard North 5092

Learning and Development ~ Spring 2013 Page 24

Handling a Difficult Discussion

Nobody likes having difficult, even uncomfortable conversations with employees. The easy way out for many people is to simply avoid the conversation in hopes that the problem – whether it involves performance, behavior/attitude issues, personal hygiene, or something else – will just go away. The result: problems magnify and the supervisor’s credibility suffers. If you’re a supervisor or manager you must be prepared to have difficult, even uncomfortable conversations with employees. This workshop provides you with a systematic approach for handling conversations and issues that people frequently avoid or execute with disappointing results. The workshop focuses on managing difficult conversations and increasing the likelihood of a productive outcome. Tools, techniques, and conversational processes will be illustrated to increase your effectiveness when faced with a difficult conversation.

Audience: Supervisors and Managers

Dates: Thursday, 3/28/13, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
