What occurs if the objectives within the personal development plan are not achieved within the agreed period of time due to unforeseeable circumstances?
This will partly depend on the year in question and also the nature of the unforeseeable circumstances. A general rule is that Personal Development Plans (PDPs) should be realistic and focus on the development that can take place in a year but also taking into account that the required development might take a number of years. The non-completion of a PDP should be seen as an exception rather than the norm. Every effort should be made by both the organisation and the individual to achieve the jointly agreed PDP as it is essential in helping individuals to work more effectively. In certain circumstances it will be possible to carry over part of the PDP to the following year if this is in between gateway points. Both the organisation and the individual should consider the consequences of not meeting PDP objectives in the year in which a gateway review occurs as this has more serious consequences based on the principles of ‘no surprises’.
