We continue October’s Hiring and Retention theme this month with a focus on resources for training and developing your staff and your researchers. We open the issue with best practices for recruiting compliance and operations staff. Of course, once they’re hired, they need training. So, in the next article, our own Director of Customer Success, Jodie Richardson, provides the essential processes, timelines, and reports for staff to meet Bayh-Dole obligations. 

Now that your staff are succeeding, a key part of any office development and retention strategy needs to consider rewards. We explore existing awards available for both staff and researchers that TTOs can pursue. And, our last article offers a resource for the TTO to help inform their researchers on IP basics.
