Staffing for Success: Establishing Core Competencies and Training Supports for Corrections and Community Supervision Staff

This shift requires a new set of considerations for staff recruitment, retention, and development so that staff and leadership have the appropriate skills to respond to the broad range of needs that may impact the likelihood that a person will reoffend.

It features an adaptation of a matrix used by IDOC and examples of some of their related materials, such as a performance evaluation.
