The State Administration of Human Services and Health Related Stuff's Human Resources Office is proud to announce the first in a series of planned training sessions to begin next week. "Profile Training: Knowing You, Knowing Me" will be held next Monday, Tuesday and Thursday in the Public Listening Room.

"Profile Training will be an exciting time for people of different areas within the agency to come together and not only understand yourself but how to communicate with and relate to others," Diane Splitterparti, Deputy Director of SAHSHRS-HRO, said. "We also aim to understand how to create or maintain a work environment that supports, challenges, and motivates other people."

As part of the new training series to start this year, the SAHSHRS-HRO office will also be sponsoring Pre-Training Mixers, after hour events held the day before training sessions.

Splitterparti said she thinks the mixers will be a welcome change to the stiff and stoic blandness of most training sessions in that you'll be able to share a drink or two with others who you will go through training with. "Plus," she said, "You will get a chance to meet your organizers and understand how your profile impacts your leadership abilities."

The mixer will be held in the north (back) parking lot of the Los Ritos Complex Building 3 and feature old-style barbecued ribs and sausage, cotton candy, non-alcoholic-free peach schnapps and cookies. State employed magician Senior Senerio will be on hand to perform tricks and Goth band "Mother Land" will be performing on the MEGA-98 FM stage.

"It's important to understand how knowing your profile can reduce stress and tension but it's even better to understand how to work in a way that brings you energy and clarity. The mixer should be a big success," Splitterparti said.

While every employee is required to attend training under penalty of death, the mixer is not obligatory.
