The University of Texas at Austin Learning & Development Human Resources

You are receiving this email because you are a manager of people here at The University of Texas at Austin.

Due in part to the vast scope of what Employee Experience covers, the concept is not well integrated into many organizations. It is also often misunderstood. This edition of the UT Learning & Development monthly message will help shed some light on the topic and provide you and your team with useful tools.

"First, understand that the developmental needs of each individual on a team are very different. No two individuals are on the exact same path at the exact same time. Take time and observe each individuals’ developmental needs, and ask them what their desired professional goals and aspirations are. Development is a 2-way street."

Each month, UT L&D will spotlight a manager at UT using the same five questions to help other managers learn from each other and get a different perspective on managing at UT.
