title: Mandatory inservice offerings: implementation of an all-day method.
abstract: This article describes the development and evaluation of an alternative approach to providing mandatory inservice offerings, whereby all yearly inservice requirements are presented during a 1-day program. Results of the evaluation of the all-day method employed to meet goals of compliance with attendance, cost-effectiveness, and participant and management satisfaction are also presented. The all-day approach used to provide mandatory inservice offerings was found to be an effective method for providing quality, cost-effective mandatory staff education.
