Abstract
This report aims to make a discussion about the basics of career
development from the perspective of Human Resource Management.
Career development cycle, the process and various stages of career
development are being discussed. It investigates how the development
policy is being implemented in order to make recommendations for
improving career resource development.
Career development is a self-initiated process with support and resources
provided by managers and the organization. It is an integral part of the
Performance Planning and Review (PPR) process. The PPR process provides
an opportunity for discussion and agreement on actions relating to
professional development opportunities and career planning for staffs. It is an
active process; we must be the driving force behind the process, gathering
information, setting goals, and making decisions. After all career
development is a process of self-assessment and reflection.
The Career Development Plan also helps employees set realistic expectations
of career growth by suggesting time frames for certain milestones to happen
(like promotions) and identifying areas that employees need to develop
before becoming eligible for their next career milestone. Career
Development Plans are just plans; they do not represent career commitments
to the employee nor the Manager or Supervisor.
