Professional Development

In order to comply with our Employment Legislation, when we identify individuals that are not performing to acceptable standards, we are required to provide “genuine opportunity to improve”. Often our options are limited and we send people on generalised courses that don’t provide the customised level of education and monitoring to ensure that the individual has clear understanding of where and how they need to improve.

We provide Individual Professional Development Programmes that are designed after undertaking needs analysis with the individual and their reporting Manager to ensure that the programme content is focused on key areas for development. Whilst the discussions during individual sessions are confidential, full reporting is provided to the organisation outlining the tools and strategies provided during the programme, as well as feedback in relation to the participation and engagement of the individual within the programme.

This provides the individual with optimum opportunity to improve and the organisation with the proof of the provision of this. In the event that the individual fails to maintain agreed standards, the process of moving to disciplinary is of significantly less risk to the organisation if challenged.
