Personal Development Plans
5. PDP Reviews
Like any strategy for growth, PDPs must be managed and monitored to yield results.
5.1 Schedule your next PDP meeting according to the timescales outlined in the previous PDP session.
- This can be as often as necessary - even monthly, in times of rapid change. Twelve months between PDP reviews may be too long.
5.2 Give each employee a self-assessment form, based on the questionnaire used to set objectives (see 3.1), before your meeting.
The form should cover:
- What the employee feels has gone well.
- What the employee feels can be improved.
- What training, if any, would help the person achieve future goals.
5.3 Use the PDP session to give feedback.
This should be done in a positive spirit.
- Recognise achievements.
- Focus on ways to improve areas where development has been slow, rather than writing them off as failures.
