SPH Training Workshops
Expanding Horizons in Personal and Technological Growth
Our School recently hosted two enriching training programmes to enhance our staff’s interpersonal skills and technological competencies. These initiatives reflect our commitment to supporting staff development and fostering a culture of continuous learning.
Enneagram and Team Dynamics – Enhancing Team Collaboration and Motivation
Our staff recently participated in an insightful Enneagram training that explored the profound connections between personality types and workplace dynamics. The session guided participants through understanding the nine core personality frameworks, helping them recognise how these patterns influence communication styles, decision-making processes, and stress responses within teams. The training emphasised strategic task assignment based on individual strengths, helping supervisors and team members work together more effectively. Participants left with enhanced self-awareness and concrete strategies for improving workplace relationships and productivity. Many reported applying these insights right after the training to improve collaboration in their daily work, noting how this framework enhances mutual understanding in multidisciplinary public health work.
Introduction to Generative AI Workshop
Our forward-looking Introduction to Generative AI workshop offered fresh insights into the role of technology in the workplace, equipping our staff with both the understanding and practical skills to leverage this transformative technology in their daily work.
Participants learned basic prompt engineering techniques to interact effectively with AI tools, along with simple strategies for applying these technologies to daily tasks. The workshop equipped staff with basic skills to begin exploring AI tools safely and effectively, while emphasising the importance of professional judgment. The positive response suggests interest in future opportunities to build on these fundamentals.
