This is a management sponsored and employee led mentorship program specifically designed for Planning and Development Services. It is now entering its third year and has been highly successful in engaging our employees.
It is rare that senior executives as a group have serious dialogue about development. Regular meetings, strategy meetings and Supervisory Board meetings are their cooperation areas. Those involved are aware that they could work together more effectively, efficiently and sustainably and contribute better as individuals if they made time for themselves and for one another. For this reason, Group Coaching has been developed over the last two decades as a particularly effective format for management development.

Compensation and Benefit Package Planning
Introduction
Recently, I have been appointed to manage the Human Resource and to manage a small team. The company's next project is revamping the compensation and benefits package and assists in designing a working plan for the human resource project. As a result of this, I have decided to establish a project charter to help revamp the package and create a communication plan to be used during the project implementation process. By so doing, I would initiate a scope definition of the project and come up with a breakdown structure which includes very ell numbered elements.
The Project Charter
To revamp the compensation and benefits package, one should first establish the strategy and objectives of compensation. He or she should also ensure that the description of the job is correct and up to date followed by developing the structure of payment and finally communicate the plan (Kloppenborg, Tesch & Manolis, 2014). Compensation and benefits are a vital element in an organization. This package helps in attracting potential employees to the organization as well as helping to retain current employees to assist with the company's productivity. Previously, this organization had failed in its pursuit to keep its employees and to offer competitive packages to the same workers.
Where competitive packages lack especially in an organization, there is possibly a lack of employees’ motivation towards performing their jobs. Lack of motivation in a firm is unhealthy since it hampers the company from achieving its desired goals due to low or no productivity at all (Kloppenborg et al., 2014). A compensation and benefits package include the combination of rewards which are given to the employees by a company to boost their trust and hope in the firm and to increase their job-related functions and quality of production within the organization. As the head of human resource management, construction of a project charter is of greatest importance in restructuring the previously ineffective compensation and benefits package in this company.
A project charter will serve as an informal contact tool linking the project sponsors to the project team which is involved in the implementation of the actual project. The project charter, in this case, will, therefore, make sure that the resulting plan is competitive and successful (Marnewick, 2018). It will define the types of requirements which should be accomplished and make a decision on how the project will be carried out right from the beginning to the end. Moreover, the charter will issue the organization with an understanding commitment as well as authorization. To strengthen the package which was previously used by this company, the table below is used as the most appropriate charter.

We all know the importance of having a highly skilled and motivated workforce in any organization, but what about in the banking industry?

A development programme is one way to ensure that employees are equipped with the skills and knowledge to perform their jobs efficiently and effectively. In this blog, we will explore the benefits of a development programme, why it is essential for banks, the impact it has on employee performance in the banking industry, best practices for developing effective development programmes, challenges and opportunities of implementing a development programme, how to monitor and measure the impact of a development programme, and case studies of successful development programmes in the banking industry.
Training and Development can be defined as a system used by an organization to improve the skills and performance of the employees to improve productivity in an organization.
Businesses often deal with interns that deplete the office coffee pot or spend more time reading through social media than actually working. But, building a successful internship program, however, need not be an impossible task. You can build an internship program that draws motivated applicants who are ready to learn and contribute to your company if you take the proper approach and are committed to professional growth.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

1. BACKGROUND
Opportunity Statement
Snohomish County Planning and Development Services (PDS) is actively engaged in strategic
workforce planning. Through that process we have gained an understanding about the importance
of:
retaining our valued employees by investing in them and giving them the opportunity to be
happy and successful, and
recruiting new employees who are talented, driven, and meet our organizational values
We now have the opportunity to establish and implement a mentoring program, which will
enhance our existing workforce planning. Most importantly, however, this program provides the
PDS employees the opportunity to give of themselves for the betterment of others. It provides
employees, both on the mentor and mentee side, the opportunity to learn, grow professionally,
increase communication within the department, and enhance the culture of PDS.
………………………………………………………………………………………
2. PROJECT DEFINITION
Project Goal
The Mentorship and Employee Development Program is a part of the PDS Workforce Plan (WFP)
and is designed to tie in with many of the other workforce planning activities which we are
actively engaged in.

The goals for the Program are three-fold. First, the program team members will be provided
training to become mentors. The knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) necessary for being a
mentor were identified in the WFP as being critical to leadership needs within PDS. These
leadership KSAs include the following:
Leadership | Section IV

Low to Mod.

(4)

(5)
Average
Initiative 5.0
Integrity 5.0
Judgment 5.0
Managing Conflict 5.0
Consult/Advise 4.6
Developing Talent 4.6
By developing these leadership skills within PDS employees, we will have continued success
within the department. Further, by developing these KSAs between employees in various divisions
and jobs within PDS, we will create a team that is well-bonded and connected to the needs of the
department.
The second goal of the program will be to provide a mechanism to pair those who want to teach
with those who want to learn. Mentor/mentee relationships are mutually beneficial and can take
numerous forms. We intend to explore many of them through this program. For example, new
employees being paired with a mentor can help facilitate a great on-boarding experience. This
program can also be used as a tool to help facilitate succession planning. As the PDS workforce
plan indicates, over ten percent of the PDS workforce has left in the previous two years and
another twenty-two to thirty percent is expected to leave within the next five years, primarily due
to retirements. This program can help ensure knowledge transfer occurs.
As indicated above, having a mentorship program in place will support and enhance other
workforce planning efforts. Examples of the program tie-ins are provided in the table below:
Workforce Planning Program Mentoring Program Tie-In
On-Boarding Instills the department’s vision and values in new employees’
thinking
Giving new employees a go-to person they can talk to and trust
from day one
Provides a way for new employees to bond quickly and get
accepted into the department
Provides an intentional process to help make sure new
employees have a good on-boarding experience
Succession Planning Provides a vehicle to pair those who want to teach with those
who want to learn
Helps facilitate knowledge transfer
Workforce Analytics Mentoring is an investment in our employees from both the
mentor and mentee side. It is a mutually beneficial program. We
4. 4
can measure the ROI of this program
Career Pathing KSA building for those in leadership roles and for future leaders
Gives mentees a person or people they can talk to outside of
their supervisor or manager about their future
Helps accelerate career development
Employee training Provides another opportunity to for skill building and learning
within PDS.
Helps PDS develop its talent pipeline and enhance its bench
strength
Recruiting employees Helps set PDS apart from other departments in a positive
fashion, enabling us to attract employees who are talented,
driven, and meet our organizational values
Retaining employees This is a program that can be utilized, either on the mentor or
mentee side. It can help skill build, career path,or give
employees options for learning and growing.
Lastly, the Mentorship and Employee Development Program should have positive effects on PDS
beyond that of the program elements. The hope is that this program further instills that we are
Focused Forward not only on our department mission, but also in providing paths for current and
future employees in any position to be fully invested and engaged in proactively planning for our
future. The program is simply another avenue to promote employee giving, engagement,
innovation, and creativity.
How it will work
The Mentorship and Employee Development Program is designed to be a 15-month (3 months in
training, 12 for program), with six to eight committed members, who are dedicated to making the
program a success. Although the program only run through 2014, our hope is that the skills
obtained will continue to be utilized and enhanced far after the program ends.
The team should include members from different segments of the department with different ways
to give back as mentors. By having a diverse team, it will allow the Program to reach a wider
segment of PDS and gain a wider perspective from throughout the department. Depending upon
expertise, mentors can be either junior or senior staff members.
The program itself will be divided into three parts. They include:
Mentorship team training:
Prior to becoming a PDS mentor, each member will be provided proper training in
coaching and mentoring skills by an outside consultant. The training will take place over an
eight to ten week timeframe and will consist of an initial four-hour training session and
four follow-up one-hour sessions scheduled within the same eight-ten week timeframe.
Training materials will be provided.
Mentorship team outreach:
5. 5
Once trained, the program will be utilized in a number of ways. We expect the program
will expand and/or adjust depending on how the team implements the program. Mentor
team members will at least be committed to the following:
assignment to a new employees and being committed to meeting at least once per
month.
assignment to an individual or team as part of meeting succession planning or
reverse mentoring goals
assignment to an employee who wishes to be mentored in particular skill sets or
abilities.
other programs developed and implemented by the team
Mentorship team meetings:
Once the training program is complete, team members will meet at least once a month to
discuss the program. These meetings could take place during work or non-work hours and
discussions could range from discussing mentoring opportunities the previous month,
activities to enhance mentoring and coaching abilities within the team, brainstorming or
developing new programs and sharing experiences that worked well or not so well.
