How do I set up a personal development plan (PDP)?

What is a PDP?

A Personal Development Plan (PDP) is a written account of self-reflection and improvement, which doubles up as a detailed action plan used to fulfil academic, personal, or career-based goals. As part of the formal review process, a user can work with their line manager to create a personal development plan, which can be checked upon and graded throughout the year. This part of the guide will explain how you create development types and development programs.

Creating Development Types

If you're looking for a way to categorize your PDP's, then development types are a great place to start.    

To create new development types on Immerse Works, first head to your Admin cog in the top right of the page. On the admin page, click on Development Types under the Reviews heading. 

The development types page will show all available development types currently on the system. To add more click on the Actions button in the top right and then click Add Development Types. Add the title and click Save. The new development type will now be available to select when creating your PDP.

Creating Development Programs

If you're looking for a way to categorise your PDP's further, then development programs are another great option.    

On the admin page, click on Development Programs under the Reviews heading. Similarly to the development types page, the development program page will show all available development programs currently on the system. To add new categories, click on the Actions button in the top right and then click Add a New Development Program. Fill in the title and select the type, then click Save. The new development program will now be available to select when creating your PDP.
