Manager's Toolkit
Welcome from Gerard Garcia, Acting Vice President, Human Resources
Managers at UMDNJ balance many roles. Staff members depend on managers to provide communication, information, support, guidance, and leadership. Senior leaders rely on managers to make change happen and to sustain high operational performance.
As a manager at UMDNJ, you will find your work exciting and challenging – sometimes a bit overwhelming as you learn to navigate your way through the organization, finding out who to call or where to tap resources and information.
Think of the related information links on this web page as your Manager Toolkit. Whether you are a new or seasoned manager, these links will bring you to helpful internal websites containing practical resources you can quickly and easily access as well as other tips for success.
We would like to hear from you regarding what resources or information we can provide to better support you in your work. Please send us your feedback at hrtraining@umdnj.edu.
