Webinar:
Giving and Receiving Feedback
When: September 1st (TOMORROW)
Time: 11:00AM

About:
Giving effective feedback, like all skills, requires practice and patience. Feedback, however, is a two-way street, as we benefit from feedback most when we not only deliver it, but learn to graciously accept it and understand what to do with it. Feedback can highlight the things that we are doing well and should continue doing and also makes us aware of or reminds us of areas where we can improve.

New Paid Leave for COVID-19

In response to the outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in New York State, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo has guaranteed workers job protection and financial compensation in the event they, or their minor dependent child, are subject to a mandatory or precautionary order of quarantine or isolation issued by the state of New York, the Department of Health, local board of health, or any government entity duly authorized to issue such order due to COVID-19.* See Guidance For Obtaining An Order For Mandatory Or Precautionary Quarantine.

*These benefits are not available to New Yorkers who take non-work related trips to states with a positive test rate higher than 10 per 100,000 residents, or higher than a 10% test positivity rate over a seven day rolling average (view restricted states).
