For Performance Year 2013, you will not be creating Employee Development Plans.  However, you can still utilize this information for your own development ideas on the specific competencies you will be assessed.

Purpose

The purpose of the Employee Development Resource Guide is to provide an aid to employees and supervisors while planning for development. 

General Development Ideas

On the job…

• Training with a senior member of your team, a member of management, or a person from another department
•  A departmental training session
• Staff meetings
• Special assignments
• Reading selected periodicals/trade publications/books
• Meeting with selected in-house professionals

Off-the-job…

• Correspondence courses
• Professional/technical associations
• Personal improvement courses
• University courses/adult education

Employee Development Resource Guide Structure

The Employee Development Resource Guide is organized as follows:

Developmental Suggestions

Suggestions for job experiences, work assignments, and activities that offer opportunities to develop a particular competency and to receive feedback on competency behaviors and skills. Activities may require some planning and cooperation from others in the workplace.

Developmental suggestions listed in this Resource Guide are suggestions only. You are encouraged to think of your own ideas/suggestions and approaches to establishing the development plans.

Core Competencies

Competency Definition

The knowledge, skills, and abilities that influence one’s job. Competencies can be measured and can also be improved via training and development.

We believe that there are behaviors that all WSU employees should practice. These are considered core competencies and included in the competency assessment portion of the form. Click the competency to access the development suggestions, readings, etc.

Local Exernal Training Resources

As we may not have training offerings for every competency, we are providing a list below of other common training resources that for a fee offer programs locally.
