Challenging work is important in any work situation. When our work provides the right level of challenge we stay interested in what we’re doing—we don’t become bored, we enjoy building new knowledge and capabilities, and we find it rewarding to accomplish something that was difficult and not easy to do. As an individual employee you have the responsibility to ensure you have the right level of challenge at work. You are the one who can best take care of and be attuned to what is happening in your work situation. You need to be an advocate for yourself. You can do this by taking action to create the best work situation possible. This course will meet with your manager to discuss the level of challenge in your work, as well as how you’d like to work together to ensure you have the right amount of challenge to grow, develop, and be successful. By completing this course, you will know how to talk to your boss about the right level of challenge for you. This course has been approved for 1 hour of PDU credit from PMI (Project Management Institute).
