Curriculum IV · Employee life cycle

Mobility, Acting, and Promotion

Who is visible, who is called ready, who gets the acting assignment.

35–45 minutes · 4 lessons · Voluntary learning

Two colleagues talk in a hallway outside a conference room.

Course outline

  1. Ready is a who

    If only one kind of Tuesday looks ready, the gate is already designed.

    6 minutes

  2. Acting is the quiet posting

    Who hears it, how long it lasts, and whether it counts later.

    7 minutes

  3. Promotion without a loyalty test

    Measurable work. Not who took which course.

    6 minutes

  4. One name, one notice

    Then surveys if the who is in the data. Stay interviews if they are about to leave.

What you’ll be able to do

Explore and practice

  • Identify how mobility, acting, and promotion affects a DHS decision, service, or workplace process.
  • Use the course concepts and evidence to examine one live policy, form, meeting, service, hire, budget, or engagement plan.
  • Choose and document one defensible change, the person who owns it, and the date the team will review it.

What you can take into your work

  • Make and reconsider scenario decisions without being assigned a score.
  • Complete the practical activities and record a one-minute transfer commitment.
  • Apply the learning to a live work object in the Equity Analysis Toolkit.

Bring one live work object into the application workspace. Name who it was built for, who may carry the burden, and one change or formal escalation.

Listen to the introduction

Read the introduction

Mobility is who is visible, who is called ready, and who gets the acting assignment. Promotion is a gate, not a vibe. This course is for Minnesota DHS employees who sit in the room when those names are said, and for people who never hear their own. Voluntary. Name one acting or stretch that was built for someone, and what you will change or write as identical.

Mobility Job Aid

Acting is a gate. Ready is a who. Completion of this hub is not merit.
If only one kind of Tuesday looks ready, the gate is already designed.

Use this aid while applying Mobility, Acting, and Promotion to a live DHS work object.

  • If only one kind of Tuesday looks ready, the gate is already designed.
  • Use the relevant formal door when a right, complaint, labor process, safety duty, or Tribal consultation is involved.

Bring one live work object into the application workspace. Name who it was built for, who may carry the burden, and one change or formal escalation.

Before you name someone

  • Who heard.
  • Paid and classified (door).
  • Cover for their work.
  • Counts later, or extra labor.

Doors

  • Classification and bargaining.
  • Veterans’ preference on a posted promotion.
  • EOAD if a complaint.

Participation and course completion in this program do not count toward DHS-required training credits unless management, a director, or DHS leadership expressly approves an exception.
