The School of Public Health hosted two enriching training programmes to enhance staff's interpersonal skills and technological competencies. These initiatives reflect the School's commitment to supporting staff development and fostering a culture of continuous learning.
Staff participated in insightful training on 'Enneagram and Team Dynamics – Enhancing Team Collaboration and Motivation', which explored the profound connections between personality types and workplace dynamics. The session introduced the nine core personality frameworks and helped them recognise how these patterns influence communication styles, decision-making processes and stress responses within teams. The training emphasised strategic task assignment based on individual strengths to help supervisors and team members work together more effectively. Participants left with enhanced self-awareness and concrete strategies for improving workplace relationships and productivity. Many reported applying these insights right after the training to improve collaboration in their daily work, noting how this framework enhances mutual understanding in multidisciplinary public health work.
A forward-looking workshop on Generative AI offered fresh insights into the role of technology in the workplace, equipping staff with both the understanding and practical skills to leverage this transformative technology in their daily work. Participants learned basic prompt engineering techniques to interact effectively with AI tools, along with simple strategies for applying these technologies in various daily tasks. The workshop equipped participants with basic skills to begin exploring AI tools safely and effectively, while emphasising the importance of professional judgment. The positive response suggests interest in future opportunities to build on these fundamentals.
