Personal Development Plan

An action plan for developing specific skills and achieving career goals.

Full Definition

A Personal Development Plan (PDP) is a structured document that outlines an individual's learning and development goals, the actions needed to achieve them, timelines, and success measures. PDPs help employees take ownership of their development and give managers visibility of their team's growth aspirations. PDPs typically emerge from performance reviews and link to both individual career goals and organizational skill needs. HR software provides digital PDP templates that integrate with performance management and L&D systems.
