Learn More at Midwestern University
The Department of Human Resources offers monthly In-Services for Faculty and Staff. “HR In-Services” are lunch & learn programs in which professional speakers present information on important and interesting topics. “Wellness In-Services” are topics related to MWU benefits and health/wellness initiatives. Each In-Service has a different speaker – presenting a different subject. Some speakers are from outside organizations and others are MWU's Faculty and Staff. HR In-Services are typically scheduled 12:00pm to 1:00pm as a lunch hour. Employees are notified in advance through email announcements. A record of past In-Services is listed on this page. If provided, PowerPoints, handouts, and videos are listed with each topic. Some DVDs of past In-Services are available for check-out from the HR Department. Surveys are provided after In-Services to gather employee feedback and suggestions for future topics.
HR In-Services are a part of the overall training experience at MWU. Attendance is encouraged if your schedule permits!
