Dear UCR Supervisors and Managers,
We’re excited to announce the next offering of Foundations for Supervisory Success – From Orientation to Elevation. Whether you're new to a supervisory role or a seasoned manager, this comprehensive development series is designed to provide critical information and practical application related to policy, onboarding and offboarding employees, payroll, timekeeping, employee performance, classification, promotion, wages, budget, and much more.
The series will run from October 2026 through April 2027, with two sessions per month, primarily held via Zoom. Sessions are facilitated by subject matter experts from departments across the UCR campus. The series also integrates LinkedIn Learning eCourses with scheduled interactive Learning Labs, where supervisors can discuss insights and apply practical takeaways in a collaborative setting.
To receive a Certificate of Completion, participants must complete all required sessions.
Completing the full series demonstrates a strong commitment to supervisory excellence, professional development, and continued growth.
We invite you to join us for a virtual Kickoff Session on October 6, 2026, from 9:00–11:00 a.m., where you’ll learn more about the series structure, meet fellow participants, and begin your journey toward supervisory success.
