26. Page 26 I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e Environment Assessment Summary Conclusions Highly dedicated management is focused on accomplishing assigned functions, but employee development is not generally valued; development focus is often by individual manager initiative There are no clear leadership development career paths or a supporting process: Leadership development is not competency based Within LCCEP there are a multitude of offerings but no alignment with specific development programs or job needs; there is no obvious functional or professional competency framework within LCCEP Advancement is not primarily performance based but driven by a variety of approaches such as automatic progressions, WPS point accumulation and non-capability probing interviews Promotion and progression process lack fairness credibility even with management attempts to level the playing field Performance Management seen as an annual requirement that has little real value Information awareness and communication is lacking and augmented by inconsistent and independent approaches Credentialing is synonymous with professional stature
