Personal Development Plan

Completion requirements
View

The Personal Development Plan is the document that the manager and employee jointly develop at the beginning of the assessment period which sets out the employee's career aspirations as well as training and learning objectives and targets for the year. The purpose of the PDP is twofold. First, it ensures that the employee maintains the current level of job proficiency through continued training and developmental activities. Secondly, the employee charts a career path by identifying new knowledge, skills and abilities to pursue, as well as learning activities needed to reach the established goals.

This plan will specify training and development plans for individuals and if available, the skills requirements specified in these plans must be added to the Workplace Skills Plan.

It is important to remember that we want to promote life-long learning to our employees. One of the methods to use is the PDP. We plan for the future of the employees. Therefore, the PDP cannot just be completed in isolation. The employee’s career path must be taken into consideration.
