Workplace Dynamics (WPD) Series
A series to help you work effectively on teams and develop skills to become a better colleague, leader, and manager.
About the series
The material in this series will increase your awareness of work, communication, and conflict styles, using examples highly relevant to research environments. The series is helpful for trainees and fellows at all levels. The series is also helpful for fellows who supervise others and want to develop strong mentoring skills for the future.
How to attend
There are three sessions in the series; each is offered once in the fall and spring. While it is best to attend the entire series, you may attend individual sessions. Trainees and fellows who complete all three units of the Workplace Dynamic Series will receive a certificate of completion. All three units of this series are required for participation in the OITE Management Short Course offered each spring.
