Dear Shruti Arora,
Sufficient information on the internet is available on designing the Career Development Plan (CDP). Even videos are available on YouTube. You may watch them and design your CDP. You may subscribe to the paid services of www.mindtools.com to acquire a better version of the CDP.
However, what happens after filling in the blanks in the template of CDP is important. The execution of the CDP requires interest shown by the individual, his or her HOD, the follow-up by the HR Department, and above all, the commitment to the development that the top leadership shows. Otherwise, however nice CDP may be, because of the poor execution, the results could prove elusive.
Additionally, career development activities need to be commensurate with the retention measures as well. Otherwise, what if the well-developed employee quits the employment and joins another company? In that case, your business competitor could be the real beneficiary of those career development activities!
Thanks,
