A healthy, engaging workplace is more important than ever before. Such a culture holds the promise of a stable working environment and an atmosphere where people can grow as the organization grows. UT Center for Industrial Services (UT CIS) is committed to helping organizations utilize a holistic approach to improve the systems that empower such a culture. The Optimized People Development System (PDS) promotes a systems-thinking approach that helps organizations assess and improve the processes they use to find, train, and retain people. A PDS consists of five functional areas – training, recruiting, onboarding, retention, and performance management. The challenge is to operate a reliable PDS that provides the organization with a competitive advantage in a volatile labor market.
