A how-to guide for effective employee development planning

When leaders put in time to work with employees to strengthen their future, both the business and the employee can thrive. An employee development plan is a detailed, action-oriented, collaboratively made list of activities or skills that an employee can pursue to get closer to their desired career goals. Creating a development plan is a great way to show employees that the organization is invested in their growth. Marquette University’s e-book, “Fueling growth, fostering success: How to create a winning employee development plan,” will take you through the employee development process step-by-step.
