Individual Development Plan (IDP) Survey Results and Next Steps

Thank you to the 132 staff members that responded to our IDP survey.

Here’s what you said:

  • 93% of respondents had a conversation with their supervisor about their development
  • Asked to indicate how helpful the conversation was….
    • 64% said some to lots of help
    • 20% were neutral
    • 10% said very little to no help
  • Asked about the helpfulness of the IDP form and resources for development planning….
    • 58% said some to lots of help
    • 20% were neutral
    • 22% said very little to no help

Respondents took the time to write some helpful comments as well.

Results were summarized and recommendations for changes and enhancements to the IDP form were presented to the Directors.

Here are things we are doing to improve the IDP process:

  • Adding a PDR hyperlink to the form
  • Creating instructions for maintaining IDP documentation from year to year
  • Writing clarifying language about the purpose and value of the IDP
  • Publishing examples of development opportunities that people are pursuing


Many thanks to the IDP Design Team and sponsors for their work over the past year and a half.
