SUMMARY:Trust Is a 2-Way Street
DESCRIPTION:Date and Time: May 20; 9:00 -10:30 a.m. \nLocation: Online via Zoom \nIntended Audience: Executive Leadership\, Human Resources and Middle Management \nTRUST. It may be a touchy topic… But it’s an important one. The elephant in the room is often the result of mistrust. You know\, the kind that lingers and festers and ultimately impacts employee engagement.  \nBut addressing a lack of trust can make things even worse. So we avoid the subject altogether and allow the elephant (and low engagement) to drag down morale\, productivity\, and results.  \nIt doesn’t have to be that way! In this 90-minute workshop\, we’ll introduce The 12 Dimensions of Trust\, as well as some eye-opening data about what it takes for organizations and managers to be trusted by employees. Employee engagement is strongly linked to employee perceptions about the trustworthiness of management\, so it’s important to identify and address these gaps\, too.  \nRegister Here!\n  \nAt the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n– Conduct candid conversations that preserve and restore trust; \n– Understand what’s going on when there’s a vague sense of mistrust; \n– Build 2-way trust and a culture founded in mutual respect; and \n– Bridge gaps between people and/or departments who don’t see eye-to-eye. \n  \nThis program is valid for 1.5 PDCs for the SHRM-CP® or SHRM-SCP®. For more information about certification or recertification\, please visit www.shrmcertification.org. \n  \nPresenter: Deb Calvert\, People First Productivity Solutions \n  \nCost: \nMembers: $50 \nNon-members: $125 \n  \nCancellation Policy: Reimbursement only for cancellations received at least 5 business days before the event.\nConfirmation Policy: We only send confirmations via email. Please email Nina Lamarre at nlamarre@providers.org if you do not receive a confirmation email.\nAccommodation Policy: We will do our best to accommodate individuals needing services. Requests for accommodations need to be made at least 14 days prior to the scheduled webinar\, workshop or training event. Please indicate the specific type of service being requested.

SUMMARY:Provider Member Hosted Webinar: What We Need to Know about the Immigration Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Date and Time: May 21; 1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. \nLocation: Online via Zoom \n**Please note this session is hosted by Conversations for Caring. Any questions regarding the session should be directed to Liz Bulkley. \nNearly 70\,000 newcomers made Massachusetts home between July 1\, 2023 and July 1\, 2024\, the largest population increase in over a decade. Most new individuals and families hold lawful but temporary legal status that is now in jeopardy of revocation\, suspension of birthright citizenship\, and even deportation. We will explore how and why our immigrant population is so vital to our communities as we examine the rapidly changing immigration policy landscape and what is at stake for those families. We’ll explore what it means for providers whose clients are part of the immigrant community. \nMost new immigrants to the United States hold lawful but temporary legal status that the current administration has targeted— for revocation\, suspension of birthright citizenship\, and even deportation. Beyond newly arrived families\, the indefinite suspension of the refugee resettlement program and the militarization of the southern border jeopardizes safe harbor and family reunification for thousands of persecuted immigrant individuals and families. This training will look at the ways the fabric of our communities are changing and how they will shift dramatically in the face of rapidly changing policies. We’ll explore what is at stake for immigrant families going forward. \nRegister Here! \n  \nPresented by:  \nAlexandra Weber\, Chief Advancement Officer and Senior Vice President at the International Institute of New England \n  \nThis session has been approved for 1.5 CEUs for NASW / LICSW / LDAC / LMHC / Nursing. \n  \nCost: \n$25 (group discounts available) \n  \n

This workshop will explore a variety of definitions of ‘middle management’\, different power/hierarchical structures in organizations\, and how social work theory best prepares folks to navigate this unique leadership role. Another component of this workshop will be exploring case studies and having time to reflect on how middle managers should handle different scenarios. The middle manager is an underestimated role in organizations\, navigating a little bit of everything\, and clinical and macro social workers have the skills to thrive in this role.  \nThis session has been approved for 2 CEUs for Social Work. \nRegister Here! \n  \nLearning Objectives: \n\nParticipants will explore varying definitions of middle management and power structures within organizations.\nParticipants will link micro and macro competencies to varying skills denoted as middle management.\nParticipants will provide advice to a series of case studies that study the positionality of middle managers.\n\n  \nPresented by: \nMolly (Mary) Corcoran\, LCSW \n  \nCost: \n$50
