The NEXT “Non-Exempt Employees Excelling Together” Conference is an exciting learning opportunity for UT non-exempt employees. Hosted by UT System Administration HR, Employee & Organizational Development, NEXT is designed to meet the specific needs of non-exempt staff on all campuses. This conference invests in the growth and development of non-exempt staff who serve and support our campuses. NEXT provides opportunities for rigorous learning, professional community building, and a connection to the BE ONE UT values.
Non-exempt employees from across the state are welcome to register for this conference in Knoxville, Tennessee. The event will include small-group sessions focused on financial wellness, influence, communication, and technology, as well as networking opportunities and large-group sessions.
