A Smorgasbord of Staff Development Programs: Helping You Choose which Are Right for Your Organization

We will describe staff development programs and opportunities available for our IT organization as a "smorgasbord" with associated costs and benefits. We will identify the value of each program to assist our audience in deciding which they might adopt. We will show some centrally developed processes including an electronic job repository, a workflow-enabled performance appraisal form, and confidentiality form tracking. We will demonstrate our use of SharePoint for our Community Events publicity, internal communications, and internal policy and procedures library. We will lead a discussion regarding some of the challenges and best practices for staff development and training.
