To maximise enjoyment of work and life requires a continual response to
the changing world in which we live. Are you living to work or working
to live? What would you like to be doing? We need to look within at our
latent skills and abilities and explore ways of building on our current
talents and developing new aspects of ourselves. Continuing
Professional Development explores the importance of continuing
professional development (CPD) and the different methods that can be
used to analyse development needs and create and implement a CPD plan.
It provides practical guidance and a theoretical overview of CPD,
including examples and case studies.
This fully updated 2nd edition of Continuing Professional
Development includes increased coverage of the critical debate about
issues in CPD, outlines how to organize and encourage CPD and provides
guidance on how senior members of the profession can use and benefit
from CPD. Activities and self-diagnostic tools, critical debates about
issues and coverage of how to organize and encourage CPD all bring the
topic to life for CIPD students undertaking the Professional Development
Scheme as well as general readers seeking to encourage CPD in the
workplace. Online supporting resources include an instructor's manual
and lecture slides.
