Share this Story(Dec. 13, 2013) -- UTSA HR Training and Development celebrated National Employee Learning Week with a "Non-Holiday SME Getaway" open house Dec. 6 in the University Center Bexar Room on the Main Campus. Even though it was one of the coldest days this year, the chill didn't dampen the enthusiasm and commitment of UTSA subject matter experts in coming together to share their wisdom and experiences as SMEs.
National Employee Learning Week is a nationwide recognition of the importance of continuous learning and improvement, emphasizing the vital connection between a skilled workforce and organizational success. UTSA's pursuit of Tier One status includes an essential connection and commitment to the lifelong learning of university employees.
Studies show a direct correlation between continuous employee development and an organization's ability to achieve its goals. In keeping with the importance of learning and improvement, the Training and Development division of UTSA Human Resourcs offers classes throughout the year and the special program during National Employee Learning Week.
"A special thank you to all UTSA SMEs for providing so many great learning opportunities throughout the year for all UTSA employees," said Anne Jett, director of training and development. "UTSA is committed to employee learning and greatly values these excellent contributions."
HR Training and Development recognizes the indispensable contribution of more than 100 subject matter experts (SMEs) who teach specialized courses at UTSA. SMEs are significant contributors to employee development and with the implementation of UTShare PeopleSoft due in March 2014, SMEs will continue to play a pivotal role at UTSA.
