Hi all,

I work as part of a large manufacturing company where we wish to run a Development Center for career progression, identifying potential employees to transition into managerial roles from being individual contributors. What are the criteria for selecting the right candidates to participate in the Development Center? Should candidates have a minimum of 2 years in the system with high performance ratings, etc.?

Dear Dhanpatjain,

Development Centre is an advanced stage of career progression. As HR professionals, we have to be careful and responsible in using HR systems wisely. Just merely using a development centre or any system may not help until we are wise enough to measure the pros and cons of our decisions. I am attaching a paper about career development. I would suggest you read it. Hopefully, you will learn more about the career choices people make.

After reading the paper, I am positive that you will be more capable of using HR systems in the right way. I would also like to invite you to visit our portal: [Mindshare HR Knowledge Portal](http://portal.mindsharehr.com) to access contemporary articles in HR.

Hi Dhanpatjain,

To answer your second question - I am not too sure if a 2-year timeframe is sufficient for entitlement to a Development Centre. I would also like to consider the person's achievements more frequently and assess the kind of impact they have had on the organization, not just the performance rating. Just because someone is good at doing something, it doesn't mean that:
1) they like doing it
2) they will continue to exceed their performance by doing this.
Working with a strengths-based approach will always be more helpful for the organization.

I can definitely be of assistance to you on this assignment. Please let me know when you would like to meet for a discussion.

Regards,

From India, Mumbai
