UPDATES TO SELF-DIRECTED SERVICES TRAINING
Greetings!

As you know, OPWDD requires all employees to complete a series of trainings annually. We've learned from your feedback that rolling training due dates (based on your start date) causes some employees a lot of grief. For that reason, we are moving away from rolling training due dates to a division-wide training compliance month. This new compliance month model will greatly simplify the re-certification process.

  • Mandatory training for all employees will be refreshed and converted to yearly training beginning January 1, 2023, which will be valid through the end of the year, December 31, 2023. 
  • Training will be valid until the end of 2023, regardless of when it is completed, then will reset every January after that moving forward.  
  • The year of the training will appear in the title, for example: Corporate Compliance Training 2023
  • Staff who do not follow the training requirements after the deadline of January 31st, 2023, will be subject to the terms of the Training Policy.
These are the required annual trainings for your reference:

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU NOW
It has no bearing on you at the moment – we just wanted to give you a heads up! No changes will be made until January 1, 2023. Springbrook coordinators will continue to contact staff to ensure that any outstanding training is completed by the end of the year. 

Employees can check when their training will expire by going onto DayForce, selecting "Profile" from the menu, then "Career," and finally "Qualifications," where they can see all of their annual training as well as the number of days until it expires. A laptop or desktop with Chrome or Firefox must be used; mobile devices will not work for this purpose.

Contact [email protected] with any input or questions!

Enjoy the summer,
Kimberly Corbett, Director of Community Services
