personal development
HR
the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and experience for the purpose of enhancing individual performance and self-perception. Personal development is led by the individual, in contrast to employee development, which is initiated by an employing organization. To be effective, it should follow a personal development cycle: establish the purpose, or the reason for development; identify the skills, or knowledge areas, that need developing; look at development opportunities; formulate an action plan; undertake the development; record the outcomes of the development activity; review and evaluate the outputs and benefits. Personal development is an important aspect of CPD.
Also known as selfdevelopment
