Human Resources continues to add and enhance resources available for managers and supervisors in UA LMS, UA’s Learning Management System for Faculty and Staff. My Team, a feature designed to further engage supervisors in employee training and professional development by supporting a collaborative learning experience for supervisors and their teams, now appears in the recently launched Managers’ Hub giving you quick access to My Team, a Needs Survey, numerous Performance Management Resources, and course descriptions to our popular management and leadership development series.
My Team functionality streamlines communication and helps supervisors get an at-a-glance view of their team’s activities, such as the status of compliance training and professional development courses, by allowing supervisors at all levels to monitor training and development activities for their teams.
Using the My Team feature gives supervisors:
- A simplified process for monitoring employee progress with required and optional training tracked through UA LMS
- The option of assigning instructor-led and online professional development and training
- Access to view records for direct report units and team members reporting to them
- Detailed User Summary Reports in UA LMS
- The opportunity to add team members if data from Banner does not correlate to actual work situations
- An email template to use when assigning courses or recommending learning content
A simple use case for this new feature might be a supervisor completing or hearing about a great course. Using the My Team feature, they can easily assign the course to some or all members of their team. For example, a tech support manager finds a great course on telephone etiquette. They can then ensure that individual team members or the entire team complete that exact course.
F.A.Q.
- How do I access this new feature? Access to the My Team feature is simple. Log into UA LMS, access the User Menu in the upper left corner of the page, select My Team from the User Menu. This feature is only available for UA employees who supervise or manage other UA employees.
- Which courses can I assign to my team members? All courses within UA LMS are available for you to assign. Some links to popular categories are below. You will need to sign in to UA LMS to view the available courses.
- I can’t see some of my team members. Can I assign to people who I don’t supervise directly? UA LMS pulls data from Banner to keep employee information up-to-date. If your team in UA LMS is missing a member, first ensure that they are correctly assigned to you in Banner. If the information in Banner is correct, or you serve as a secondary supervisor for an employee, please contact us directly.
