INTRODUCTION
Personal and professional development is a procedure
that engage a person in the task of learning to reach the
challenges and require goals. It is linked with the
growth requirements of an individual and group as well.

Personal skills against professional
standards and organisational objective
According to my research I found that, a business always tries
to employ the good workforce and provide them a training to
ensure that the overall objectives of an organisation can be
achieved. To obtain these results an enterprise will select a
SMART theory such as specific, measurable, achievable,
realistic and time bound. Leadership skills, team work, time
management etc. are the characteristics that are required by
the staff of a company that helps in good transmission and
written skills.

Cont
Skill audit is a tool of revising
prevailing skills against the ability
that is required now and in future.
It will support an individual in
recognising their current
efficiencies. It helps to bring out
the continuing work role more
efficiently and to plot, create and
upgrade the knowledge demanded
for the subsequent career.

Cont
When the prevailing skills id identified then the organisation
require to prepare a list of desired knowledge that helps in
rating the present capability against competencies and
organisational objective.
The skill audit will assist in recollecting the abilities that is
required by an organisation that are concerned to be very
essential or relevant. It will also aids in to consider suitable
real-life illustrations to enhance the knowledge that are very
beneficial for interviews with the employers.

Development needs and the activities
required to meet objectives
Every organisation requires an employee who has the skills of
time management, leadership and IT. To cover up the lack of
knowledge training is desired at the place of work and do self
study and attend some sessions of personality development.
To upgrade character an individual requires to acquire some
strategies by reading books, newspapers, magazines,
telegraphs etc. in private and executive life to grow their
knowledge that support in creating a way to transmission
skills which is essential for an enterprise.

Cont
Class room courses- This technique is widely used in present times
in all organisations to facilitate their staff the option to improve
their skills and study the current knowledge. It will also award them
with a certificate which supports them in achieving better post in
future.
Crew development plan- It is utilised by the various multi-national
companies, in which they provide training to their existing
workforce at executional level with regard to acquire some
administration position at logistic level.

Developmental opportunities to acquire
present and future determined needs
Most of the organisations are looking for the methods to
connects skill development to the logistic objectives and
indicate consent with industry directives. The highest cost of
studying is the time individuals are not functioning at their
work place. Its solution is to reduce the time expended in the
training and emphasis people especially on the abilities that
are required by them. It is very important to recognise the
efficiency gap of workers with respect to the certain business
tactics and goals.

Cont
To achieve the objective it has to take the interests of the
training provided by development team. By ensuring the
goal a company needs to construct skills that are specific,
measurable, achievable, realistic and time bound to give a
target to individuals to attain it.

Personal and professional developmental
plan based on recognised needs
SWOT Analysis- Self-control is done by it. By this
evaluation an individual can recognise its strength, weakness,
opportunities and threats regarding executive development.
Learning- Long term learning is having impact on personal
and professional development.
