What are the risks when personal development is not aligned with organisational objectives?
Many Trusts will be able to identify examples where particular training courses have been available, and staff have signed up for them and completed them but then not been able to use the new skills they have acquired. This happens when training is simply something that the individual member of staff considers as part of CPD, rather than it being part of the overall workforce and linked learning and development strategy. This inability to practise what they have learnt is very frustrating for staff and a waste of finite resources.
