In my Professional Development Plan I mainly highlighted the three areas that I felt I was weak in as per my self-assessment. These areas mainly included the decision making process in my role as a HR although my specialization area focused on on-boarding. These areas are of high interest to my development as I understand my actions and decisions in these three areas can highly impact my effectiveness in the success of my organisation as well as the relevance of my role in my organisation. Through my professional development, I was able to understand data analytics and its significance in informing decisions. I put this knowledge to practise by analysing unemployment trends in the UK especially after the impacts of Covid-19 and Brexit. With the information obtained I was able to contribute information to my organisation in regards to the shifts in labour market, the salary and compensations and factors that impact the organisations in becoming employers of choice. This information was particularly effective in the on-boarding process at my organisation. My plan was quite effective in not only improving my knowledge but its applicability as well. In future however, I feel the need to incorporate more formal learning means such as seminars or courses. I found that enrolling for a short course in Excel was most effective in learning the tool.
