DEVELOPMENT
 Defined as growth in an individual's knowledge, skill, and
personal effectiveness.
 Often referred to as professional development or staff
development. It is the process during which employees,
with the support of their employer, go through
professional training or pursue learning opportunities to
improve their skills and grow their knowledge and
careers.

grow skills, which better equips them for their current
roles. This adds more value to the work they do and

solely to optimizing an individual’s skill
set for a particular role. Rather, it refers
to continued learning that nurtures
professionals and helps them progress on
their individual career paths. While it’s
ultimately the individual’s responsibility
to own their professional development,
it’s to the employer’s benefit to
encourage continuing education by
providing or facilitating both internal and
external learning opportunities.
