Developing employees is facilitated through the
use of competencies. Employees and their managers can
more easily target specific strengths and developmental areas.
Development Resource Guides support the enhancement of each
of the competencies. All contents are current and reflect
the past few years; older sources are included only if classic.
All information is analyzed, verified and discussed with appropriate
sources before being placed into the Guide.
Resources are described, not just listed. Contents
are carefully selected and reflect the best; not just a listing
of everything. There is a section in the Guide for each
competency. Each competency section contains eight distinct
approaches to enhancing behavior. These are:
| On-the-Job Experiences |
CD-ROMs |
| On-the-job experiences
provide the most powerful way to enhance development that
individuals can engage in immediately. They include a
broad menu of activities individuals can select to reinforce
behaviors and actions to build proficiency for a competency. |
New approaches and
technologies provide exciting opportunities to learn about
a competency. CD-ROMs can be interactive, colorful,
musical, and exciting. |
| Web Sites |
Self-Study Courses |
| There is a comprehensive
listing of web sites for all the identified resources
in each competency area. This will be a valuable
resource for on-line learning. |
These courses are
designed with objectives and provide a logical and progressive
approach to a topic. Self-instructional formats
facilitate self-paced learning. These media can
include CD-ROM, diskette, and computer-based training
(CBT). |
| Courses and Seminars |
Readings |
| These include formal
training courses that are given by the company, universities
and consultants. On-site and off-site alternatives
are available. |
Readings include
a carefully selected list of books that align with and
explore each competency. Up-to-date selections with
succinct descriptions help individuals make the most appropriate
choices. |
| DVDs |
Audio-Cassettes |
| A select listing
of DVDs can be used to enhance individual as well and
organizational performance. DVDs can be used as
a self-study tool in a wide variety of locations. |
Cassettes provide
portability and convenience that can be used in the car,
while jogging, during lunch, or just about any place or
time. |
