Development plan
What is a development plan?
A development plan is individualised for each and every employee in the company. As such, the plan takes into account key personalised details in order to formulate a strategy for how the employee will grow and advance within the business.
Why do businesses create development plans?
Many businesses choose to document a development plan in order to increase employee accountability all while ensuring a level of transparency. If everyone within the organisation knows their plan for both the present and the future, employee retention levels increase as well as workplace morale and productivity.
Development plans also foster communication between management and staff. With the ability to talk openly and honestly about future plans, each stakeholder is afforded the opportunity to future plan and in the short term, implement steps to bring the plan to fruition.
