The
Individual Development Plan defines the development
activities. There are several different type of
development activities defined by IDP.
Work
Assignments is the IDP part where the employee is
assigned to different projects and activities. The
project can be dedicated to employee's IDP or the
employee can join project related to different
activities. All activities are defined by IDP time
table. It is recommended that most of the employee IDP
activities are done through work assignments.
Manager
Coaching / mentoring is another method used for
Individual Development Plan. Immediate supervisor
usually does this role, though the employee can be
assigned to other managers too. The IDP defines specific
areas where the manager will provide coaching
Education
Courses / Seminars is the last segment of Individual
Development Plan activities. The IDP should describe
specific education courses or seminars that are relevant
for employee's development.
The
ratio between work assignments, manager's coaching and
education courses can be different. Still, it is
recommended that most of the activities are related to
practical work. Therefore, work assignments could take
70% of time, manager's coaching 20% and education
seminars can take 10% of activities defined by
Individual Development Plan.
