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. The personnel development measures that you can depict by means of development plans include:

• Training programs (plans for apprenticeships, trainee programs, and so on)
• Further education and training (training courses, workshops, and so on)
• On-the-job training, job rotation, and so on
• Individual development plans

• You can create an individual development plan for every employee and update this plan continually. In this way, you can represent the entire training history of the employee in question. You can take items from development plans in the catalog and tailor them to individual employees. You can also select specific items individually.

• You can store the following information on every item and every general development plan within an individual development plan:

• Status (to monitor progress)
• Notes
• Validity period

• Once a person has passed through a development plan successfully, any new qualifications gained can be assigned to this person’s profile.

• A development plan history is available to help you find the development plans that are person has been, is, or will be involved in.
