Step-by-step explanation

A performance development plan is a tool for improving employee performance. The process of performance development plan helps managers and employees identify the employees' weaknesses and to work on it for the employee to improve it. Also, personal development plan is a tool where you list your vision, mission, and goals as well as specific actions and strategies necessary for achieving these goals.

Development plan should include the following:

1. Review performance

- First, review the employees' performance in the company to help and guide them on their strengths and weaknesses.

2. Identify goals for improvement

- Second, make a goal on specific areas you want to improve or work on. 

3. List actionable steps to achieve those goals

- Third, list down all possible ways and strategies on how to achieve these goals.

4. Define metrics and milestones

- Fourth, set a progress metrics to note your improvement to see if these set-strategies are effective. And to see if you've already achieved or improved something. 

5. Identify what support and resources are needed

- Fifth, here you will list down all the resources you will need to achieve your goals and be successful at work. 

6. Review and finalize the plan

- Lastly, with everything set and planned, you go over it again before submitting it to your manager. The manager then will review and check if these goals are aligned with the organization and to see if the employee understand the whole process of professional development.

I think the most emportant part of the plan is the review of performance. This part plays a vital role in improving the employee's work ethics and behaviours because this part is where you list his strengths and weaknesses like where the employee went well and where he needs to improve more which is the main purpose of professional development plan. This part is where the employee navigates his/her plan to what he needs to achieve.
