A brief description of any internal sustainability professional development and training opportunities that the institution makes available to non-academic staff:
HEC Montréal’s development and training programs for non-academic staff are made of 3 main components.
First and foremost, a standard training offer, every semester, for professional skills (ex. Social media and websites, English or French as a second language, digital tools, management skills, etc.). With the new reality of Covid-19, this basic training offer has been immensely improved to include online communication, but also wellbeing, managing in situations of crisis, developing our soft skills and empathy, etc. This new offer, opened to all employees and co-developed with an external training partner specialized in wellbeing, is a direct response to HEC’s employees wellbeing survey conducted in 2020.
Second, specific training and development are offered by the Sustainability office around our permaculture and gardening programs. These training, who used to be provided on the field, has been adapted for online presentation, allowing more people to assist through Facebook live events. Other departments, such as the Equity, diversity and inclusion office, are also completing the conversion of their training session for non-academic staff to an online platform schedules to be launched in late 2020/early 2021.
Finally, HEC Montréal is committed to encourage its non-academic staff to keep learning and developing their skills related to SD. Employees who wish to participate in external training and development session simply have to submit a request to their manager to get their subscription cost reimburse. Examples of common training and development activities include participation in SD graduated programs, training, lecture and exhibitions with the school partners such as Ashoka, travel fee to participate in activities abroad for non-academic, etc.
Human resources office is keeping a general log of all training activities followed by non-academic staff, but No specific log related to sustainability training and development activities are kept.
