At which step of the HR development planning process is an organization responsible for identifying, in collaboration with the employee, resources that are needed for the employee to reach their goals?
HRPA’s Learning and Development process model sets out an integrated sequence: self-assessment → reality check → goal-setting → action planning. In action planning, the employee and organization specify the concrete steps, supports, and resources (e.g., courses, coaching, stretch assignments, time, budget) required to achieve agreed development goals, along with timelines and accountabilities.
Goal-setting defines targets; it does not operationalize resources.
