HR 128

By now everyone should have heard of HR128. It is the UT Human Resource policy that encourages every employee to participate in at least 32 hours of training each year.

In IPS, we have moved beyond encouraging participation to expecting it. Your personal and professional development plan is a part of your annual performance review and goal setting. The IPS leadership team believes it is important for all employees to remain current in their areas of expertise and to be continuously gaining new knowledge, skills and abilities.

Take advantage of on-line classes offered by UT through SkillSoft, courses offered by UT HR, and courses offered by IPS agencies. In addition, there are many other opportunities to receive training. Work with your supervisor and agency director to determine the plan that is right for you and your agency.

So, we're nearly half way through the calendar year. How are you coming along on your development plan for the year?
