Developing a Plan for Company New Hires

By: Katherine Graham-Leviss at entrepreneur.com

Assessing employees starts on Day One. The sooner you set expectations for your employees, the more likely you are to have a productive team that supports and grows your business. And that isn't the only benefit. There are three primary reasons to create individual development plans for managing performance. A development plan will:

1. Set expectations for performance. It gives employees clear expectations for their results. 

2. Create a coaching document and put a process in place with a road map for advancement and a schedule to review progress, which holds managers accountable for providing feedback.

3. Create a benchmark that shows growth and improvement or the lack of progress against goals. This benchmark will assist you in developing your team members at all levels.
 
By building a development plan around these concepts, HILT Marketing, Inc. has been able to grow, develop and advance its employees in a supportive environment.
