EMPLOYEE FOCUSED LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Show how we can help each other feel valued as contributors to organizational success.

Fear and Anxiety

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING…
“The course is pretty cool. It was very convenient for me to take it
when I could and the info was very accurate. I liked the eLearning
format because there is a lot going on during your first week and
people don’t generally like to ask questions. I like that I can refer back
to it when needed.”
