Activity 1- The Context of Professional Development

As identified in CIPD (2022b), the CPD is core for making sure that staff strategies, ideas and initiatives are used to aid individualised learning and development (L&D). The prioritisation is on CPD to come up with god results for professional development with relevant achievements gained in their area of practice.

Conversely, as evidenced in Korzynski et al.

Working as a people practice professional, I make sure that I adopt the best approaches in implementing my functions, modification of the roles, behavioural strategies and scope of objectives alignment of employees personal goals.

Considering the CIPD HR Professional Map 2018 (CIPD, 2021a), it note that the main HR role has significantly been changing. Specifically, the core mandate of the HR function has been to make sure that entire resourcing strategy is prioritised. This is with the L&D approaches and employees career growth and development put into account. Considering the CIPD (2021) insights, they note that after COVID-19 pandemic emerged, it has had immense impact on the business sector, technology demands impact people practice professionals ability of embracing change and initiating collaboration. Further, in line with CIPD (2022), immense changes are evident in performance reviews and appraisals with returning staff in workplace and resourcing approaches relevant to promote flexible work practices.
