Demers, who has worked in Personnel Services for more than 20 years, will work with staff involved in the ASR project. She will help assess their skills and ensure that they receive the right training opportunities so that they can either succeed at their revised job or compete successfully within UNH for a new position. In addition, Demers will help develop new training programs and deal with other human resource issues that may arise. She also will be available to talk confidentially with staff about concerns or ideas they may have.
Topics can include training issues, skills assessment and career changes or upward mobility.
I hope in my role as case manager I can help staff move past the old through the 'neutral zone,' and on to new beginnings and opportunities. In addition to being available at Personnel Services, Demers also will have a satellite office located in Verrette House, scheduled to open by the start of the academic year. For more information or to schedule an appointment with Demers, call 2-0500.
