Personal Development

Companies:

With strong competition for good people, having personal development opportunities for your staff can give you the edge both in recruitment and retention. Focusing on development that provides a business benefit allows companies to develop their staff and improve overall performance levels. Company or department wide personal development should be considered when a standard approach or quality level is desired.

Individuals:

Personal development is essential to remain at your peak performance and maximize future marketability. By reviewing the areas of your performance where you feel vulnerable or where you might need to grow for future potential you can make a business case for development that your employer is more likely to support.

Personal Development can take many forms, from informal coaching to formal training courses. The choice should be made by considering the need, the practicalities, as well as the preferred learning style of the individual.
