How can I use the professional development course catalog to help staff meet their performance objectives?
First, review the course offerings in the current course catalog with staff members’ performance objectives in mind. Then initiate a conversation with the staff member. You might open the conversation by saying, “I’ve been looking at the latest campus professional development catalog, and I’ve got some ideas about courses that might help you meet your work goals. Why don’t you take a look at the catalog and then we can discuss your interests. When could you be ready to talk about that?” You may also use the Professional Development Worksheet for staff members to discuss, plan for, and document training or other intended actions. [For performance issues or overall performance planning, use the Performance Development Plan.] If you have questions related to specific staff situations, please feel free to contact Nancy Nieraeth, organization and people development consultant, at 253.879.3541.
