As all Niagara College employees work to navigate these uncertain times, we understand you may be looking for additional support, strategies, and resources.

The Centre for Organizational Excellence is pleased to share with you a new webinar series designed to support employees with the key challenges they are facing as they parent, support seniors in their lives, maintain their focus at work, and try to take care of themselves in a time that is anything but normal.

This informal webinar series will feature interviews with subject matter experts who will provide insight on a variety of engagement and wellness topics. Each 45-minute webinar will offer valuable tips and helpful strategies and will be interactive with opportunities for participants to ask questions of our guests. Each webinar will also be recorded and made accessible after it is complete, so those who are unable to attend the webinar live will still have an opportunity to watch it at their convenience.

Below are the first two weeks of webinars being offered. View the full description and register:
