Mission Statement
 
The Performance Development Center (PDC) supports the professional and personal growth of employees. This development process includes instruction and consultation provided by a network of internal and external professionals supplemented by a collection of enduring materials housed in the Performance Development Center.
 
Activities
The PDC schedules and supports the center’s curriculum. It supports the online HealthStream training and coordinates New Employee Orientation sessions.
 
Performance Development Classes and Workshops
Performance development enables employees to reach their full potential to advance the Strategic Plan, improve patient/customer satisfaction, improve quality of products/services, and influence financial management. The PDC encourages participants to demonstrate, monitor, and evaluate learning on the job, encourage participants to sustain learning overtime and develop a pool of qualified internal applicants for new roles.  
 
The Performance Development Collection
The PDC has a collection of self-learning materials that include books, manuals, newsletters, articles, audiotapes, videotapes and CD-ROMs.  These materials focus on the behaviors and skills that support the Hospital's Ten Values.  This collection is housed in the Robinson Health Science Library where these materials may be checked out.
