9. Effectiveness of development
Type: Subjective
Getting trained or an opportunity to work in a project is the first step towards attaining a development objective for the employee.
The more critical aspect is to assess the effectiveness of the development initiative & this review question deals with that.
Review Methods
For each development opportunity that the employee availed, there should be a Manager & employee evaluation on the effectiveness of the initiative during the Review process. This should be done by a Before & After assessment i.e. How was the employee before? What were the objectives to be fulfilled? How was the employee after?
What is the impact on the job responsibilities? Is the fulfillment of objectives long term?
In cases where the impact of the development initiative trails off after some time, there should be a check on the follow up steps and their effectiveness.
Finally, key highlights should be drawn to provide inputs to personalize future development plans in terms of the needs of the employee, the effectiveness of one type over the other for the employee etc.
