Statewide Training Update

We continue to make strong progress in delivering consistent, high-quality training opportunities across the state. These efforts are helping build a more aligned and elevated workforce, while ensuring employees and supervisors have access to the tools and resources they need to succeed.

Annual Required Training: Completion Status

Thank you for your continued leadership in supporting completion of Respectful Workplace, Defensive Driving, and Cybersecurity trainings. This work is critical to maintaining a compliant and respectful workplace across all agencies. At this time, over 87.5% of 14,735 employees have completed these requirements. Our expectation remains 100% statewide completion, and we will continue partnering with agencies to close remaining gaps.

OnDemand Training: Scalable Learning in Luma

Since the beginning of 2026, we have been diligently working to build OnDemand training in Luma to support consistent, statewide expectations and provide flexible learning opportunities, particularly for supervisors.  Recently released supervisor training courses include:

Additional trainings will be released in the coming months, including FLSA, recruiting, documentation, interviewing and hiring, employee engagement, conflict management, and more.

Facilitated Training: Virtual and In-Person

Facilitated trainings continue to support deeper skill development. We are offering Crucial Learning courses in key areas such as Crucial Conversations, Influence, Accountability, and Getting Things Done.

We have also transitioned the Supervisory Academy into monthly, 2-hour virtual Supervisor Workshops focused on practical application. These sessions cover performance management, coaching and feedback, development planning, and progressive discipline, and are designed to strengthen consistency and support supervisors in applying expectations effectively.

Certified Public Manager (CPM) Program

The CPM Program is well underway, with four cohorts, approximately 115 participants, and representation from 32 agencies.  This year, the program has been refined to focus the first 12 months on core learning, followed by a 6-month capstone project aligned to agency priorities. Additional guidance on capstone expectations will be shared this fall to support successful outcomes.

Looking Ahead

As we move forward, we will continue to strengthen our statewide training strategy by gathering feedback and evaluating return on investment to ensure our offerings remain impactful and aligned with agency needs.

Our long-term vision is to build a structured development path for supervisors that combines OnDemand and facilitated training, creating consistency, setting expectations, and strengthening leadership across the state. We are also expanding training opportunities for employees, with a focus on foundational HR knowledge and team effectiveness.

For agency-specific needs, including team trainings on topics such as communication styles, managing change, time management, and leading through influence, please continue working with your HRO to connect with available resources and trainers.
