Starting an Individual Development Plan

Employee development can be mutually beneficial when a balance is struck between an individual’s career goals, and an organization’s inherent need to get work done. It’s a win-win situation in that it benefits the individual (the development of new skills or knowledge) in a way that also benefits the organization (a more skilled workforce able to accomplish more).

But, how do you decide what to do? The University of Minnesota’s Office of Human Resources has a webpage dedicated to resources for helping employees discover what their role is in development, including an Individual Development Plan (IDP). The IDP is a tool for helping employees turn their big goals into concrete and achievable actions. Learn how to start your IDP with this helpful guide and an IDP worksheet on the ASR Intranet.
