career aspirations, strengths and development needs during a performance review is
regarded as a minimum. Informal discussions throughout the year with various people are
encouraged.
Through your self assessment you may have identified particular skills or areas of knowledge
you wish to develop. What are these?

Career planning: Guiding Principles
Knowing yourself.
Exploring possibilities.
Making choices.
Making it happen.
In the first two stages may be quite brief – the employee will be
mostly responsible for doing the work on “knowing yourself” and
“exploring possibilities”.
May need to be more intensive when considering and making
choices and developing a plan to make things happen.
Career discussions may occur between the employee and one or more
of the manager, a professional supervisor, a professional leader, an
educator, a career development specialist, or people experienced in a
particular field. It is likely that many career discussions will take place
as part of a performance review process or will follow shortly after
such a process.

These four steps, and what needs to happen at each step, are set out
below.

A good comprehensive career plan might record relevant information
from “Knowing yourself” and “Exploring possibilities” and will:
What is in a good Specify goals and an agreed (between the employee and the
career plan manager or supervisor) course of action covering some or all of:
o Skills the individual needs to develop.
o Qualifications needed.
o Other learning opportunities to meet agreed goals.
o Possible “stepping stone” jobs.
o Experiences that may be useful.
o Strategies for overcoming any obstacles.
o Networks/information/support needed to achieve goals.
Specify who will do what to implement the career plan.
Specify how to assess the extent to which the agreed course of
action has achieved the stated goals.
Specify when and/or in what circumstances progress in
implementing the plan, and the plan itself, will be reviewed.
The training plan that supports a career plan may encompass some or
all of “on the job” experiences, formal education, informal education and
mentoring/coaching/support.
An example of what a career plan based on the four steps might look
like is attached at Annex B.
Tailoring career The level of attention required at each of the four steps in the career
plans for specific planning process will vary, depending on the stage of the career and
circumstances personal circumstances, the particular profession or group, previous and

funding anyone taking this approach - selection for funded
courses should be based on value to the health sector and a
properly considered career plan.

DHB during or after their training. To prevent duplication:

will need to collaborate on career planning. When they are
established, regional training hubs will support this
collaboration.
o The career planning (or some other) process should include
securing the trainee’s agreement to the transfer of relevant
information between employers and others, subject to
safeguards re confidentiality.
