The employee practices include: Undertaking human resource planning that supports organization goals and objectives; Recruiting and selecting people for mutual success; Promoting equal opportunity and diversity; Ensuring people understand and commit to the strategic direction and improvement goals; Getting people involved with improvement initiatives; Encouraging employees to share ideas and suggestions; Encouraging employees to be innovative and take risks; Determining the training needs of employees and providing the necessary training; Ensuring employees have adequate compensation and benefits; Rewarding and recognizing strong performance of both individuals and teams; Ensuring a healthy workplace environment and involving people in addressing issues related to health and wellness; Removing barriers to employee effectiveness.

Each practice includes a definition, implementation guidelines and practical examples and may include applicable research findings. The workshop is formatted so that participants learn about best management practices related to the topic and have an opportunity to self-assess against the practices and develop an improvement plan to address gaps.
