Module Outline
These modules will assist in the ongoing management and development of all employees in an early childhood education and care service. Funded by the Department of Education and Training (DET) and developed by ELAA, each module draws from the information and tools provided in the Employee Management & Development (EM&D) Resource.
We encourage everyone who performs an employee management role within your organisation to complete each module.
Once you’ve completed these modules, you will be able to implement or update a process to:
- manage a systematic EM&D process based on best practice that is tailored to your service
- strengthen the skills, capabilities and performance outcomes of your employees
- improve your ability to support employee performance and professional development, and\
- increase your knowledge of employee management and development in the context of the early childhood sector.
