Who Should Be Accountable For Your Professional Development - You Or Your Manager?

Ongoing professional development of staff is an important issue for all businesses and companies. No matter how current the employee’s training or education there are new ideas and ways of working that impact on the quality of the work completed. So who should be responsible for the professional development of staff?

It is important for both staff and employers to develop a professional development plan for employees. The employees will be able to identify areas of learning that are important for them to complete their daily work and identify trends that are important for future projects. In addition, the employer has information about the future projects that are being considered or planned. Joint planning of these professional development opportunities can be productive for the business because staff are prepared to begin working on projects quickly because they have the current information and skills required.

However, it is also important for employers to provide the opportunities for staff to extend their skills and knowledge in new areas that will enhance their work. These new areas may include a better understanding of how to work with other members of the team, how to develop skills in others and how to use technology more efficiently. Professional development must be viewed as an important factor for employers and employees to collaboratively plan.

Employees must be willing to share ideas for their own professional learning and be prepared to work with employers or managers to develop a plan that fits the needs of the worker and the company. This will help to create the professional learning environment that is necessary in a successful company.
