A development plan is a structured document or framework that includes specific goals, methods, and activities to help an individual employee improve their abilities, knowledge, and overall professional progress within a company. It provides a road map for employees to learn new skills, grow in their careers, and actively contribute to the organization's success.
Example
A marketing department employee may have a Development Plan that includes objectives such as obtaining a digital marketing certification, attending relevant courses, and shadowing experienced marketers. The plan also includes a timetable for reaching these objectives and may describe how the employee's progress will be tracked and assessed. By adhering to the Development Plan, the individual may gradually learn the skills required for professional progression and contribute more effectively to the company's marketing initiatives.
