Tools of Professional Development and Its Importance for Organization

Thesis Statement

“Professional development is not only an individual effort but a support of the organization”.

Introduction

Professional development is the process by which employees progress through a series of stages characterized by different development tasks, activities and relationships. Professional development is the result of career planning and includes aspects that a person enriched or improved with a view to achieving objectives within the organization. It can occur through individual efforts or for support of the company where he works (Owen, 2004).

In Eastern companies, there is a general feeling of strong attachment and loyalty to the company where you work (Messmer, 2005).

Training as a tool for professional development

Quality control also includes the development of employees, understanding the proper skills and training both to correct the company's issues and to advance its workforce. Corporations are able to dedicate entire divisions toward the issue of quality control. In the sector, the internal resources available to be dedicated toward quality control are very limited. The need for quality control, therefore, has led to the creation and expansion of organizations dedicated to building the capacity of and providing technical assistance to organizations (Messmer, 2005).
