The British Academy for Training and Development offers the "Career Development and Performance Management Techniques" course. This course emphasizes guiding new employees into their department or position in a timely and effective manner. It focuses on setting clear performance expectations and goals for all employees, providing regular feedback on progress in meeting those expectations, and supporting employees' professional development through developmental assignments and training. The course also addresses strategies for keeping up with recent changes and developments in applicable policies, laws, and principles of effective management through regular training and professional publications. As professional standards are not fixed, they must be reviewed and updated regularly to accurately reflect evolving understanding, expectations, and the contexts shaping the profession's work. Furthermore, training is essential in the workplace; without it, employees lack a strong understanding of their responsibilities or duties.
