Development Activities

A development activity is a task that is to be performed in order to develop and improve upon a skill or competency. For example, a development activity could be as simple as the following: “Look for a workshop that addresses the following: identify customer needs.”

If you are licensed with third-party content, such as DDI, you can add development activities from a catalog to a development plan.

You can:

• View your own development activities at any time, and management can view their employees’ development activities as well.

• Mark a development activity as complete.

• Add development activities to an existing development plan.

• Delete a development activity.

Tip: Consider adding development activities to improve performance. For example, suppose you have a development plan for improving communication skills. In this example, you can add a development activity, such as the following: “Ask people if they feel that your writing and speaking are clear and succinct. Ask them for examples of your strengths and areas for improvement. “
