The Personal Development Plan is a proven method for giving direction to employee growth. In the PDP Interviews course you learn how to draw up a PDP contract, conduct the interview, deal with resistance and secure agreements. From start to evaluation.
Description
Investing in employee development pays off for both sides: employees feel valued and challenged, and the organisation retains committed and skilled people. The Personal Development Plan (PDP) is a proven method for giving that development a clear shape.
In this course you are given practical tools for conducting PDP interviews effectively and for guiding the development process from start to finish. You work on drawing up a clear PDP contract, practise conversation techniques and learn how to gain insight into your employee's performance. You will also look at dealing with resistance, safeguarding the agreements made and evaluating results.
You finish the course with a complete approach: from the first interview and the interim progress to the evaluation of the final result.

Result
After this course, you will independently draw up a clear PDP contract and hold focused PDP meetings with your staff. You will know how to gain insight into someone's performance using 360° feedback, how to deal with resistance and how to safeguard the agreements you make.
You master the conversation techniques required from the first introduction through to the evaluation, and you can use various working methods to really get your employee's development going. This ensures that personal development does not remain a paper exercise, but delivers concrete results for both your employee and your organisation.
Target audience
This course is intended for managers, team leaders, HR staff and anyone who holds PDP meetings with employees in a coaching role. Whether you are just starting out with development interviews or want to sharpen your skills: you will receive practical tools you can put to use straight away.
Teaching method
You take this course in a small group, so there is ample room for personal attention and interaction. The trainer alternates short pieces of theory with practical exercises in which you work on personal development plan interviews yourself. You practise with recognisable situations from your own working practice and receive immediate feedback from the trainer and the other participants.
You are welcome to bring your own cases. This ensures the course closely matches the challenges you face in your role as a manager or coach. Afterwards you will receive a certificate of attendance.
Prior knowledge
You do not need any specific prior knowledge for this course. It does help if your work involves guiding or coaching employees, for example as a manager, team leader or in a comparable role.
In-company
Would you like to organise this training for a whole group or several groups? This can be cost-effective. For example, we can tailor the content entirely to your organisation, and training a whole group is also cheaper.
Are you looking at large numbers of participants or a complete academy? That involves a great deal. Consider planning and communication, for example, or identifying and agreeing the objectives and content of the training. Or differences in level, feedback mechanisms and safeguarding. Fortunately, Learnit has extensive experience in this field (more than 25 years) and we are happy to help you through this process.
Language
The training is given in Dutch as standard. The trainer has a good command of English. English-language course material can be used. With a minimum enrolment of 3 participants, the training can also be given entirely in English.
