Employee Success

For employees to succeed, they need to know what success looks like and receive regular on-going feedback on their progress. The Performance and Development Plan (PDP) is a tool for facilitating communication between a supervisor and an employee about:

The linkage between the employee's expected results and the organization's goals and performance measures.
The employee's standards and expectations.
The organization's commitments for training and development.
The employee's progress, accomplishments, and needs for growth.

The PDP is designed to facilitate both performance planning and feedback for a specific performance period.
