People practices self-check
The PPSC is a free, online tool that will help you identify opportunities to promote the growth and success of your animal shelter's human resources.
You spend time and energy improving the health and welfare of your shelter's animals, but what about the staff that you rely on to do the work? The People Practices Self-Check was designed by organizational experts at the University of North Carolina Charlotte, in partnership with The HSUS, to help shelters identify opportunities to promote growth and success of employees.
This free, easy-to-use, confidential tool is comprised of a series of online questions that represent best practices in management of shelter staff. Questions are categorized by priority level, so users start with Foundations 1. Based on your answers to each question, you will either receive confirmation that you are on the right track or an alert with specific tools to take positive steps to improve. (Review a sample report excerpt from a completed survey.) You can periodically repeat the survey after implementing recommendations to track progress and identify new areas for improvement.
