Managers from across Queen’s University gathered on May 5 for the second annual HR Summit.

Hosted by the Human Resources Department, the summit was designed to further HR’s commitment to provide continuing education to its clients. It featured a keynote address by Julian Barling (Smith School of Business), who spoke about transformational leadership and how certain approaches can be translated into everyday leadership behaviours that have a positive impact in the workplace.

Following the keynote speech, participants had an opportunity to network with their colleagues and consult with ����ֱ�� HR experts.

The connections continued after the break when a panel discussion about current HR projects and initiatives was held. The panelists included Marie Doherty, Director, Client Services and Organizational Development & Learning, Diane Pointer, Director, Total Compensation, Heather Shields, Director and Counsel, Employee and Labour Relations, and special guest Steve Tanner, Director, Finance and Administration within the Faculty of Arts and Science, who provided insight from a client perspective.

Dan Langham, Director, Environmental Health & Safety, and Megan Rhymer, Department Manager, Geological Sciences and Geological Engineering, were the door prize winners and each received a copy of Dr. Barling’s book The Science of Leadership: Lessons from Research for Organizational Leaders.

“We are very pleased with the overwhelming response we received from our clients regarding this year’s summit. Not only did this event reach capacity, but the feedback to date has been very positive,” says Dan Bradshaw, Associate Vice-Principal (Human Resources).

In addition to the summit, Employee and Labour Relations offers customized training sessions for managers throughout the year. Email hrelr@queensu.ca for further details on these sessions.
