Personnel Development 

Purpose

You can use the Personnel Development component to maximize employees’ utility within your company. You can plan and implement specific personnel and training measures to promote the professional development of your employees. You can also ensure that staff qualification requirements are met and planned. By taking into account employees’ preferences and suitability, you can increase job satisfaction. Personnel development sets out to ensure that all of the employees in all of the functional areas in your company are qualified to the standards required at present, and will remain so in the future. This is achieved by developing qualification potentials.

A company’s personnel development needs are determined by comparing current or future work requirements with employees’ qualifications, preferences and aspirations. Career and succession planning scenarios might contain personnel development measures that are geared toward finding someone to fill a specific post. They can also contain more general measures to impart qualifications so that employees retain or further their professional skills and abilities, and keep track with technological developments.

A company’s personnel development needs are determined by comparing current or future work requirements with employees’ qualifications, preferences and aspirations. Career and succession planning scenarios might contain personnel development measures that are geared toward finding someone to fill a specific post. They can also contain more general measures to impart qualifications so that employees retain or further their professional skills and abilities and keep track with technological developments. Actual personnel development measures involve either individual business events, or comprise complex development plans, which are, in turn, made up of a number of subactivities. Personnel appraisals form another important basis for personnel development planning. Apart from supplying invaluable information, personnel appraisals can also be used to monitor the success of personnel development measures that have already been introduced.

Personnel Development comprises the following components:

You use this component to set up, structure and manage a qualifications catalog. On the basis of this qualifications catalog , the organizational structure (and, if required, other information) you can create profiles. You can then use these profiles to manage, evaluate and compare object characteristics.

You use this component to plan, perform and evaluate appraisals. Appraisals assist you when planning and monitoring individual personnel development measures.

You use this component to work through career and succession planning scenarios. In Career Planning, you can identify possible career goals and draw up career plans for employees. Succession Planning deals with finding people to refill positions.

You use this component to map general and individual personnel development plans in your system. You can use these development plans to plan and manage short-term and long-term personnel development measures.
