BUILDING A COMPETENCY MODEL TO DEFINE GREAT TEAMWORK IN HIGHER EDUCATION 

What does great teamwork look like in a higher education environment? What competencies are the most critical for high-performing teams? What key behaviors must teams exhibit to maximize success? Our HR team set out on a journey to identify these competencies, create a competency model, and develop an online toolkit for faculty and staff. In this session, you will learn about the process we used to create a competency model, which included research, focus groups and surveys. You will also learn about the resources we identified to be most helpful for teams to improve and thrive.

This fun and honest session will focus on how the presenters navigated the challenges of building strategic partnerships, motivating their teams, uncovering hidden HR problems and championing the HR function at their institutions.
