HRS Training & Organizational Development Policy
Training and Organizational Development helps provide employees with opportunities to learn new skills and polish old ones.

In addition, not only do they come away with improved skills, they also acquire the kind of confidence in themselves that translates into greater on-the-job efficiency and productivity.
- Attendance at these training programs typically is counted as time worked.
- Employees must get permission from their supervisors to attend these sessions.
- Training programs offered by Human Resource Services are a benefit of employment. As such, no charge is typically assessed to you or your department for attendance at these programs.
