Learning and Development
The University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus Learning & Development unit is responsible for the design and delivery of professional development programs for all university faculty and staff. We provide courses on a wide variety of topics including professional development opportunities, interpersonal skills, manager competencies, and targeted topics specific to the University.

A survey by the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) shows that employee recognition and engagement are key to retaining good employees. And, according to research conducted by the US Department of Labor, 64% of Americans who leave their jobs say they do so because they don’t feel appreciated. Personally relevant and authentic appreciation leads to employee engagement, a positive culture, lower turnover and absenteeism, higher productivity, and impacts the bottom line. This workshop utilizes the concepts from the book “The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace – Empowering Organizations by Encouraging People” to understand the impact communicating authentic appreciation can have on an individual, team, and organization.
