Employee Development
 |
UNDERSTAND
You have probably experienced the strong correlation between employee satisfaction, employee development and retention. As a manager you can play many important roles in employee development—including facilitator, coach, and champion.
The June 2005 Leadership, Community and Values survey found that a majority of UW staff members were less than satisfied with their opportunities for professional development. Encourage your employees to enhance their professional development with many effective learning and growth opportunities that are low or no cost.
Your employee can:
- Take on a challenging assignment: volunteer for projects that will enhance a specific competency or skill.
- Seek coaching / mentoring: identify a senior employee or someone you view as a role model, and seek that person’s advice on progressing in current or desired field.
- Engage in on-the-job training, including cross training, shadow assignments or job rotation.
- Access classroom training via seminars, workshops, conferences or classes.
- Pursue self-instruction: read books and other publications, computer-based training, instructional CDs, DVDs or video courses.
- Conduct networking: find specific people who can serve as a resource for development; or participate in professional societies, civic activities, or advisory boards.
