Project Review <br /> candidates tend to compete very well and fill a significant number of vacancies. <br /> Occasionally, vacancies are first posted as career development opportunities, <br /> giving current employees an opportunity to learn about another position prior to <br /> applying and competing for the regular position. The decision to post a position as <br /> a career development opportunity is made in concert with the supervisor, division <br /> manager and recruitment and selection staff. Policy allows for a supervisor to fill a <br /> vacant position as an internal transfer or voluntary demotion opportunity. Limited <br /> duration and temporary employees are not eligible to apply for career development, <br /> transfers, or voluntary demotion opportunities. <br /> The AFSCME contract allows represented employees the right to inquire about the <br /> criteria to be used for the selection process. This includes the areas of knowledge <br /> and the skills that will be tested. AFSCME employees who are unsuccessful have <br /> the right, upon request, to feedback on their performance in the selection process. <br /> In the case of demotions, APPM 3-630 defines the various types of demotions and <br /> the required steps to take in each circumstance. Prior to any type of demotion, <br /> supervisors consult with department and HRRS employee relations staff to discuss <br /> the situation and ensure any due process steps are properly followed. <br /> In the area of career development, supervisors learn about development methods <br /> and concepts in supervisor orientation, performance management for supervisors, <br /> situational leadership and other optional supervisor curriculum classes as part of <br /> the Coordinated Training Program. They also are coached by HR on methods in <br /> working with employees around development. The performance appraisal system <br /> for most areas includes a discussion of future interests and potential, along with the <br /> structured career development program. HR representatives will also coach and <br /> support internal employees on resume development and interviewing skills to help <br /> them be more competitive in the process. <br /> Another method of preparing employees for promotion is through cross training <br /> which offer employees the chance to experience and learn additional <br /> responsibilities before applying for a position. <br /> Actions to Comply: <br /> Evaluator Suggestions: <br /> Evaluator Requirements: <br /> Evaluator Note: <br /> Project Manager's Signature: Date: 1-~3 6 <br /> Agency Director's Signature: Date: ~o ~ 2~-- a~ <br /> <br /> APWA Self Assessment - 4th Edition # 2.24 Page 2 of 2 <br /> <br />
