Part One - Employee Development Plan
The following Employee Development Plan was developed to encourage my organization to increase the options available to create and motivate employee success.
My personal Development plan is based solely on the items needed to further my career and grow as a well-rounded person. To be included in the plan will be formal education, job enlargement, job rotation, and coaching (Noe, 2010.)
Formal Education
I am definitely a believer in lifelong learning. I would want to continue my formal education and acquire my Doctorate. I am unsure of the emphasis for my doctorate so I will begin that course when I have determined the direction I will go.
Job Enlargement
Currently I am working on my Instructional Design Internship. I have been focused on creating the print versions of courses to be implemented. I would like to expand that to include the self-paced course, face to face and certification courses. I would also like to be given the responsibility to complete either a course or other special project. Hopefully this would include the role of project manager, or just individually completing the greater assignment.
Job Rotation
Within my current company there are many opportunities. It seems as though people are often moving within the company and working in varied roles. I would like to try job rotation in order to become more familiar with all areas of the company and see if there are other places where my skills would fit.
Coaching
Developing relationships within a large global company can be difficult. Even within our workgroup there is so much work to be done that the relationship building is at the wayside. A good way to maintain efficiency while developing relationships could be through coaching. A coach could offer their expertise on the role and responsibilities at the workplace. Taking time to talk about the job, company, and personal growth could build strong relationships and better employees.
I believe that combining these elements will increase my own personal successes. Revisiting, modifying, and updating this plan is also an important key to truly developing and motivating myself to be my best.

ReplyDeleteASQ Employee Development plan
I liked your graphics, however they were too large and overpowered your content. Under Formal Education you listed improves job performance, how would you select the courses? You make a very good point regarding the value of assessment programs to provide continuous feedback and increase job performance. What are some performance appraisal tools that you could see as applicable to your organization? You made a good point at the end regarding a strong employee program building a positive work environment.
Personal development Plan
Job enlargement, as you pointed out, is a great way to gain experience and practice/apply what you have learned through formal education. You made a good observation regarding job rotation as a way of becoming familiar with all areas of the company.
I would agree that a good coach will not only share their experience and expertise, but can also assist in your personal and professional growth. Does ASQ have a Coaching program?

Mike,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your insight. The formal education classes could be determined by needs for the professional position, or for continuous improvement, and including personal interest.
In my organization a good performance appraisial system would be the benchmarks. I think if there was a clear picture of benchmarks to be reached when designing courses, everyone would ffel more proficient in what is needed and the appropriate timelines. This should include the development of courses in the different mediums.
ASQ has a mentoring (buddy) program, but not a complete coaching program. I feel that this is an area that could truly be improved. I have had managers in my workgroup work with me on projects, but having one coach to help develop your skills as well as interpersonal relationships would be more effective.
Thanks again,
Nicole
