The Importance of Continuing Professional Development
Continual professional development is improving ones skill and abilities benefiting the individual and the organisation. It is also taking responsibility for ones learning.

My development needs
There are different means by which you can develop your skills, knowledge and behaviours, for instance by accessing the Cipd website, reading daily alerts, resourcing journals online and by attending Cipd events I am able to keep up to date with current issues across the sector. I have already started to do this, and have booked myself onto some of the Cipd events.
I can improve my knowledge by planning time to go through financial and reporting systems that my organisation uses, with my line/ store manager. I can also research the company intranet, as it contains a wealth of information.
By attending ‘Vision’ courses in my workplace I start to think about my personal behaviours, such as self-awareness, which in turn can help me be a better role model for others.
I have an interest in performance and reward management and so I am looking forward to the module on this, I will also be having a thorough look at this in my workplace, and also plan to look into performance and reward that our competitors offer. CPD is important to me for the following reasons,
1, to enable me to improve my skill set making me more employable across the sector.
2, to help build my self-confidence, in a competitive job market.
3, to enable me to be aware of current goings on within the sector.
4, It will make me a more knowledgeable individual which will in turn benefit my team and organisation.
