An individual development plan (IDP) is a tool to assist employees with career and professional development. Its primary purpose is to help employees reach short and long-term career goals. Supervisors will consider how well employees accomplish career and professional development goals when evaluating the Job Knowledge Critical Performance Element.
At the beginning of the Performance Appraisal Period, a supervisor will prepare an IDP for each employee, identifying areas for growth and development. The IDP will be prepared in collaboration with the employee.
The IDP is designed to encourage continuous learning and development.
