Professional Development

Professional Development

Employee development is a key plank of a successful talent management strategy. Talent management is an integrated set of processes, programmes and cultural norms in an organisation designed and implemented to attract, develop, deploy and retain talent to achieve strategic objectives and meet future business needs.

HR practitioners can assist schools by sharing best practice in: 

• Creating inclusive professional development plans specific to each employee
• Providing mentoring or coaching
• Creating leadership opportunities where available.
• Developing a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

You can find out more about how your school can build a culture of continuous professional development in the Talent Management pages of the website.
