Individual Development Plans (IDPs) are structured approaches to personal and professional growth, customized for each employee's career goals, strengths, and areas where improvements are needed, with input from managers.
IDPs enable employees to take ownership of their professional development, feel valued, and aligned with the company objectives, thus leading to their overall performance.
IDPs usually include career aspirations, skills assessment, clear learning objectives, actionable steps, timeline, regular feedback and reviews.
Effective IDPs utilize relevant tools for employee assessment and development programs. Zenithr Elevate utilizes Thomas International’s psychometric tools for its Define, Measure, and Elevate program for assessment and IDP goal setting.
Elevate also offers 360 feedback, DISC theory-based job profiling for mapping roles with candidates’ natural strengths and skills, and the 9-box grid tool for mapping performance data for identifying high-potential employees, to support succession planning.
The IDP framework supported by the assessment and development tools from Zenithr Elevate offers personalized growth strategies, actionable guidance, and relevant opportunities that lead to better employee engagement, productivity, and long-term business success.
