County HR launches countywide leadership and training program pilot
Summary
Human Resources presented a plan for a countywide needs assessment and pilot leadership development program, plus an intranet hub and training resource group for county employees.
Tompkins County Human Resources presented a countywide professional‑development plan and pilot leadership program at the Budget, Capital and Personnel Committee meeting on May 8.
Samantha (HR) described goals for 2025: complete a countywide needs assessment, develop and pilot a leadership development program for current leaders, maintain an intranet page with training resources and launch a countywide training resource group that shares materials and subject‑matter experts across departments.
The nut graf: HR said the initiative aims to use internal trainers where possible, start with a pilot cohort, and provide supervisor resources and wellness information. Samantha said she has already surveyed department heads and will meet with them to refine priorities and identify internal trainers.
Committee members welcomed the plan and asked about funding and capacity. Samantha said the initial approach emphasizes internal trainers to keep costs low and that the needs assessment will guide specific budget requests. Veronica Pillar and other members praised the newsletter and cross‑department cohort approach.
Ending: HR will continue departmental meetings and return to the committee with prioritized training needs and any budget requests.
