Principles and Practices of Management

Notes The interactive sessions between the management and the employees, the mutual goal
setting and the efforts towards the career development of the employees help the
organisation to become a learning organisation.
Conducting performance appraisals on a regular basis helps it to become an ongoing part
of everyday practice and helps employees to take the responsibility of their work and
boosts their professional development.
Career planning and development is a holistic approach for objective description of the
career progression path for all levels of employees in an organisation.
Even though the two concepts are used with different connotations in some organisations,
like, career planning for non-executive level and career development for executive and
managerial levels, for our purpose, we have considered both the terms more in the general,
rather than specific sense.
