Comprehensive PDP Functionality

The purpose of a PDP or Performance Development Plan is to give employees a platform for self-reflection by helping them identify their long- and short term goals and objectives in the organisation and how they can reach them.

As a result, they can see what skills, knowledge and competencies are required for them to reach their goals. If, for example, the organisation is trying to be proficient in Project Management, the system is capable of facilitating requests for training from third party sources.
