Results
I created a process of enhancing workplace culture within a university department. I developed an outline of a certificate program for current employees. This was for employees who want to develop and enhance skills for professional growth. A survey was developed to see what employees thought of their workplace. With the results, specific details were able to be implemented within the certificate program (along with a two tier pay scale). Training courses were created, along with short tests for the end of each training, that had topics which would not only benefit the employee, but also for their future careers. In addition to the core classes, elective course options were also intact. In completion of the certificate program, along with any required tests, a pay increase will occur.
