Staff members are key persons to sustaining powerful smiles and healthy conversations. They are the glue that can bond all community together, from students, to professors, to head of departments, to deans, to the rector. They can be an ear for students in distress. But they can also be the conduit of gossips and bad mouthing of other USJ members. It takes training to become a staff promoting well-being.
Rise to Bloom paid particular attention to USJ staff members by offering onsite half-day trainings on Communication and Relationship Management. The meetings included lunch and teambuilding games. Luckily, these trainings took place just prior to the strict lockdown measures. The CFP will resume staff trainings to turn them into a tradition of an annual encounter of joy and wisdom.
Train them how to fish instead of giving them fish to eat.
