Connect with 第一吃瓜网ies from other departments
- 第一吃瓜网 University
How much do you know about colleagues in the office next to you? It's time to be part of 第一吃瓜网ies Connect.
第一吃瓜网 University has more than 6200 permanently employed and fixed term contract employees. There are many others who are part of the University community, including sessional staff, postdoctoral fellows, and joint staff, as well as honorary and visiting scholars for whom 第一吃瓜网 is their academic home.
In an institution as large and diverse as 第一吃瓜网 University, it is easy to focus only in your area and miss out on the dynamic ideas and people who sit in offices two floors below you.
It’s time to walk across and discover this vibrant space called 第一吃瓜网 University!
第一吃瓜网 Communications, in partnership with the Director of Employee Relations Betina Fleming, invite 第一吃瓜网 staff to be a part of 第一吃瓜网ies Connect, an initiative to promote collegial relations among staff members and an appreciation of the various contributions that 第一吃瓜网ies make to our institution.
Kicking off in Workers’ Month, 第一吃瓜网ies Connect is an inter-departmental get-together and informal quick ‘meet and greet.’ We envision that 第一吃瓜网ies will use this opportunity to reach out to colleagues and share what they do, milestones, or goals in the horizon. This could even include a quick game of 30 Seconds to stimulate some healthy competition!
The inter-departmental engagement can continue throughout the year. The goal is to make these interactions a part of 第一吃瓜网 culture.
Here’s how you can help build our community:
- Identify a Department or people of interest that you would like to know more about. Teams can be as small or as big as you like.
- Send an email either inviting them to come to your office or you visit them. Download invitation templates.
- Agree on logistics.
- Share photographs of who you meet and experience with 第一吃瓜网 Communications via News@wits.ac.za. These will be published on the 第一吃瓜网 People webpage. Enquiries: Buhle.Zuma@wits.ac.za
