Personal Development Framework

Personal Development Framework

• What do I get out of it?
• You will get a Skills Profile and a clear
  understanding of how you can progress in your
  role

5

• What is a Skills Profile?
• It is a document that sets out two things
• Your role
• The skills you need to perform your role
• What kind of skills do you mean?
• There are three types of Core Skill Technical,
  Commercial and Personal Skills.
• Each Core Skills area has other skills listed
• within it.

6

• So Ill have a list of core skills needed in my
  role. Anything else?
• Yes, each skill has an expected outcome and
  evidence to support it.

• For example?
• Personal Skill Working in teams
• Outcome Fruitful and constructive working
  relationships within and outside the firm
• Evidence Positive feedback from colleagues,
  clients and third parties

8

• How will I know if I have these skills to the
  required standards?
• Everyone will have a Performance Development
  Review (formerly known as an appraisal)
• So I will not have an appraisal?
• You will have a performance development review
  instead. This looks at how you are performing in
  your skills areas

• What if I need help to develop my skills?
• The firm will support you and by providing an
  appropriate form of learning and development.
• You mean training?
• This will depend on what you need. We are
  creating a new learning and development programme
  which will offer you the most suitable form of
  development, linked closely with your Skills
  Profile.
