The benefits of CPD can be seen from two perspectives – that of the employee, and that of the employer.
For employees, Continued Professional Development helps them keep their knowledge and skills up-to-date. It also ensures that the professional standard of their qualifications and registrations is maintained. Furthermore, it contributes to their professional sense of direction. Completing any form of CPD helps build their confidence and credibility, allows them to showcase their achievements and equips them with tools to cope positively with change.
Continued Professional Development is beneficial for employees’ career progression and advancement. Our CPD research project confirmed that anyone hoping to get promoted, or wanting to specialise in a different area, demonstrating their learning agility and dedication to CPD can make a substantive difference. In real terms, this means that CPD contributes to achieving higher salaries.
For employers, the primary benefit of Continued Professional Development is ensuring that standards across the company are high and consistent. CPD training opportunities promotes greater work engagement from the workforce and a general commitment to job roles. Having a number of employees undertake CPD, whether concurrently or over a period of time, allows for the sharing of best practice and support. CPD also contributes to maximising staff potential, improves staff morale and provides a useful benchmark for any style of appraisal system that used within your business.
