Question:

3. Sally Devins is the director of a small library with nine professional librarians, and she understands the value of employee development. In fact, she knows that if people leave the library and go to conferences, they will gain invaluable perspective and ideas for new ways to approach their jobs. Therefore she has always tried to set aside some funds in the budget for travel. This week she got a request for a large sum of money from a department head who seems a bit burned out. She wants to attend a conference in France. She will not be giving a paper, but just attending. You know it would be a morale boost to her to allocate the funding to her, but then others would get less. Sally might have avoided this predicament, if she had developed criteria for funding travel that everyone would see before the year begins. You work for Sally and she has asked you to develop that criteria for professional development. How would you go about this task? Allocate a set amount to each employee? First come first served? Criteria such as if someone is attending a conference, the library will pay a percentage of the average cost of the trip? Or if someone is invited to give a paper, the library will pay a larger percentage? Set out a listing of what you would do and include a justification.
