Individual Development Plans
Definition
An individual development plan is used as an instrument for planning and managing the personnel development measures of an individual employee.
Use
Use individual development plans to plan and manage the training and further education of individual employees. Development plan items or even other development plans are added to individual development plans to reflect the current requirements of employees. It does not matter if, for example, the item in question is an individual activity, an entire training program, or an activity catalog used for planning the careers of potential managers. You can tailor general development plans to individual persons.
You assign a status to every item in an individual development plan. This status allows you to monitor individual activities. In this respect, a development plan also documents in detail the personnel development history of an individual employee.
