CUSTOMIZED WEBINARS

customized webinar

Customized Webinars tailor training to your team's specific needs.

Through customized webinars, HR Learning & Organization Development facilitators can tailor training content to meet a team’s specific needs, determined by research-based assessments, best practices and tools, in an interactive, remote environment. Team Building with CliftonStrengths and other topics may be developed into a customized webinar, finely tuned to your team's specific needs.

Team Building with CliftonStrengths

CliftonStrengths, an online talent assessment created by Gallup Inc., is a powerful tool for developing high-performing teams. In this customized workshop, members of a team will take the CliftonStrengths online assessment individually (the cost is approximately $15 per person, purchased by the requesting department, directly through the vendor), then the facilitator will guide the group through the corresponding CliftonStrengths activities that are proven to increase engagement, encourage collaboration, and improve productivity and results. Participants will take away knowledge and skills on how to develop their own, and their team's, efficiency and performance.

How to Schedule a Customized Webinar

Please email training@usf.edu to get in touch with Organization Development where you'll learn more about how to begin getting a customized webinar and discuss how to develop the skills important for your team.
