LESSON 7

EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT

1. Explain the employees‘ and company‘s responsibilities in planning development.

The employee and the company share the responsibility in making the development plan.
They should involve in building an action plan that is useful to the future of the employees. The
development planning process affects not only the company’s future but also the employee’s
future career pathways. Also, it is important to identify the responsibilities of both parties to be
held accountable in the events that will be happening in the future.

In the employees’ responsibility in the development planning process, they should be

included in the making of the said plan. The involvement of the employees in the process would
lead to the effectiveness of the plan because they are the source of information as the basis in
making the action plan. Furthermore, they are the one who will set the short-term and long-term
goals in their own careers and they should know what and how to achieve these goals. Lastly,
they should oversee, suggests, and comment on the development plan of the company because it
involves not only the future of the company but also their future.

In the company’s responsibility in the development planning process, they should be the ones
who will initiate the start of the process. Also, it is their responsibility of guiding its labor
resource not only improving the employee’s skills to suit the job requirement but also guiding
and preparing them in career development. They should prepare them for the higher level of
management because labor resources are not always permanent and someday the people in the
high-level management will leave the company soon for some reason. Building effective
performance management is one of the major responsibilities of the company in the planning
process. It contains the appraisal of the current job performance of the employee and it will give
an analysis on what abilities should the employee improve to obtain the target position.
