Why do we need these workshops?

Personal development Plans (PDPs) were first introduced at Thrive Tribe around a year ago, when we launched our first self-directed learning piece on SWAY (Level 1 behaviour change). They have since been embedded into all future self-directed courses and are a part of the employee induction brochure.

Since their launch, I don't have insight into how many people are using them or how effectively. So I launched a quick poll on Bob to see who would be interested in a workshop on PDP's.

What did the poll show?

Around two-thirds of everyone that responded showed an interest in the workshop, with the final one-third not aware that PDPs were available. This final stat is of particular interest; as the People Development Lead it shows me I need to being doing more to put them on everyone's radar.

What are we doing as a result of the poll?

I have scheduled three 1-hr workshops "Beyond the tick box: Making the most of your PDP" across July, September and December. These workshops will not be recorded as they are interactive and you will get most benefit from attending them live. The workshops will look at the purpose and value a personal development plan can bring. It will show you how to formulate clear and meaningful goals and to think of opportunities beyond formal training. You will have the chance to practice formulating your own PDP plan that focuses on four simple steps: skill, focus area, action and evidence.

The first workshop is taking place on Wednesday 29th July 2pm - 3pm. If you would like to attend, click on the link below. All dates and times of future workshops can be found in the Totem What's On calendar.
