Development as a shared
responsibility

The development plan says something about where an employee is at now and where this person wants to grow towards. At Obelisk, we consider employee development as a shared responsibility between employee and employer. A PDP is therefore drawn up in tandem.

  • On the one hand, as an organization, you determine the learning needs necessary to achieve the organizational goals. Based on this, you establish a strategic learning policy.
  • On the other hand, the employee reflects on his or her competencies and professional goals.
  • In an individual development plan (PDP), both factors come together: in which direction is the employee heading within the organization, which resources are needed to do so, and how will this be implemented?

A development plan, that pays off!

Investing time and money in the development of your employees is a smart move. On average, an organization spends about 5 hours per employee on creating and guiding in the personal development plan. Does this seem like a risky use of time and resources to you? Then be sure to read all the benefits for your organization, we list them for you:

  • It's postiive for your employees and for the future of your organization: as you use training and knowledge in a more targeted way, your organization achieves a higher return. You utilize the maximum potential.
  • Employees who want to develop themselves and are given the necessary tools , space and facilities to do so, are happier.
  • To maintain employee discipline and motivation, it is important that employees have the opportunity to develop their talents, sharpen their skills and realize their ambitions.
  • You have a competitive advantage in the war for talent when you have a strong commitment to development. Through development opportunities within the organization, a person may also stay longer in your organization.
  • You train people internally which eliminates the need to recruit these profiles in a tight labor market.
  • You comply with the regulations of the new labor deal which states that a personal training plan is recommended for every employee in an organization of at least 20 people.
  • Less absenteeism and greater motivation because your employees are working in a place in the organization where they do best.
  • A personal development plan (PDP) forces you to identify your organization's future needs. Working with PDPs is therefore a good tool for optimizing your organization's career and training policy.
