We have cultivated the land for thousands of years and in that same way we have to cultivate the environment in which we want to thrive in.

 

 

Organizational Development offers practical models for building administrative systems within small agencies that are growing and needing more structure. One aspect to consider is the development of agency systems that illustrate the expectations of staff and the programs they operate. These systems include policies and procedures to provide a roadmap for management to hold staff accountable, trainings to inform staff on how to do their jobs, building accountability among management to their staff and mission statement, and creating programs that will have the greatest impact in their communities.

 

 

Cultivating leadership is vital to have an optimal environment as well and agencies can do that be having clear job descriptions, proper supervision, and regular trainings for their leaders to grow. There are a variety of topics that we can focus on to build your agency, support the staff working there and build the overall capacity of the agency.
