Staff members can request CPD activities and the request is then sent to their line manager who can accept or reject it. CPD activities can also be added directly by the line manager or the HR coordinator.
CPD activities can be aligned with organisation development areas and staff performance objectives. This ensures that there is purpose to the CPD activity.
Organisational development areas are identified as being the key areas for focus for development. CPD activities can be aligned with them.
