Dear Shruti Arora,
Sufficient information on designing the Career Development Plan (CDP) is available on the internet. There are also videos on YouTube that you can watch to help with your CDP design. Consider subscribing to the paid services of www.mindtools.com for a more comprehensive version of the CDP.
However, what happens after filling in the blanks in the CDP template is crucial. Successful execution of the CDP requires the individual's interest, support from their Head of Department (HOD), follow-up from the HR Department, and most importantly, commitment to development demonstrated by top leadership. Without proper execution, even a well-designed CDP may not yield the desired results.
In addition, career development activities should align with retention measures. Otherwise, if a well-developed employee leaves the organization and joins a competitor, the competitor could benefit from the investments made in the employee's career development.
Thanks,

Dear Shruti Arora,
Creating a Career Development Plan (CDP) for all employees is a crucial step in fostering growth and ensuring the alignment of individual goals with the company's objectives. Here's a step-by-step guide along with templates that you can use.
Step 1: Define Career Development Objectives
Assess the Company's Needs: Identify the skills and competencies required for future business growth. Understand Employee Aspirations: Gather information on employee career goals through surveys or one-on-one meetings.
Step 2: Develop Individual Career Development Plans
Employee Information: Include basic details such as name, department, role, and supervisor. Career Goals: Document both short-term and long-term career aspirations. Skills Assessment: List current skills and competencies, and identify gaps that need to be addressed. Development Activities: Plan specific activities like training, mentoring, job rotation, etc. Timeline: Set clear timelines for achieving the goals. Progress Tracking: Include checkpoints for regular reviews.
