Employee Development It's a Win Win

King County is committed to building a workplace where all employees have the tools, resources, and support to innovate, achieve our career goals, and fulfill our passion for public service. Each of us owns how we develop and grow. It's up to us to identify our aspirations, explore opportunities, and work toward our personal vision.

If you are a people leader, you are key in creating a culture of respect where all employees are inspired to grow, thrive, and serve. Excelling in this role is a win-win. A win for the organization with increased accountability and commitment, time savings, and stronger teams. A win for the individual with continuing engagement and motivation, a career advocate, growing opportunity, and an environment in which to excel.

Learn more about employee development, your role, and some of the resources available at one of our upcoming workshops. If you are an individual contributor, join us for Introduction to Career Development to learn how you can shape and grow your career. If you are a county people leader, join us for the half-day forum, Igniting Employee Development, to learn how to support your employees.
