The Pangasinan State University Alaminos City Campus (PSU-ACC) welcomed its new faculty members with a Structured Learning Experience (SLE) and Orientation on January 6, 2022, Thursday, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM at the PSU-ACC PBB Atrium.
The SLE and Orientation, organized by the Office of Learning and Development Division of the Human Resources, aimed to:
- Provide attendees with concise and detailed information that will enable them to discharge their duties and responsibilities as faculty members;
- Help them adapt faster in their new environment;
- Promote productivity as this enables them to understand what are expected of them and what they expect from their leaders;
- Encourage openness and understanding between employees and their line managers; and
- Inculcate among them the core values as reflected in the core competencies and leadership competencies that the University upholds.
The SLE and Orientation activity was anchored on the IiP principle of โleadingโ which postulates that line managers and leaders should provide clarity around its purpose, vision and objectives; a clear and regular two-way communication between leaders and people at all levels exists; people understand the Universityโs objectives; and that line managers support people to deliver these objectives.
