Task Two $-$ Professional Review

This task requires you to demonstrate your commitment to professional development and performance improvement.

To complete the task, you are asked to undertake some reflection, self$-$assessment, and consideration of other's feedback, leading to an identification of your strengths, weaknesses, and development areas. Following this identification, you will formulate a range of formal and$/$or informal activities to address your development needs and support your continuous development.

The task then shifts to a retrospective stance, where you are asked to reflect on the impact of development activities already undertaken, in the last $12$ months.

All five activities below must be completed.

Reflect on your own approach to working inclusively and building positive working relationships with others. $($AC $2\mathrm{.}3)$

Explore how the role of a people professional $($specialist or generalist$)$ is evolving and the implications this has for your CPD$.($AC $3\mathrm{.}1)$

With reference to your responses for Q$1$ & Q$2,$ and feedback on your behaviours or performance obtained from $($at least$)$ one other person, assess your current strengths, weaknesses, and development needs. Your response should include an explanation of the feedback received and how it has informed your self$-$ assessment. $($AC $3\mathrm{.}2)$

In follow$-$up to your self$-$assessment, identify a range of formal or informal development activities you will undertake to support your ongoing professional development. Your

response should include a brief description of your chosen activities and your reasons for selecting them. $($AC $3\mathrm{.}3)$

$($Note: If using the CIPD $\text{'}$My Learning Plan', you may find it useful to self$-$assess against the behaviours: 'Working Inclusively' and 'Passion for Learning' $($along with other relevant areas$)$as this will stimulate development ideas around the areas at Q$1$ and Q$2$ above. $($However$,$there is no requirement to provide copies of these self$-$assessment pages.$)$ Your Learning Plan activities can be 'copied and pasted' into your assignment document, and edited so that you are not adding unnecessarily to your word count.$)$Reflect on the impact of three previous learning activities $($i$.$e$.,$ not the activities planned at Q$4$ above$)$ on your behaviour and performance. The selected activities may be any formal$/$planned or informal$/$unplanned activities undertaken in the last $12$ months, which you consider to have impacted your behaviour and performance. $($AC $3\mathrm{.}4)$

Present your reflections, attached to your assignment, as either:

your own format CPD record, edited to include just the three selected activities, or a report $($or reports$)$ from the CIPD $\text{'}$My CPD Reflections' tool. Your evidence must consist of:

$$ Written responses to questions $1-4,$

$($Approximately $1000$ words in total, refer to CIPD word count policy$)$

$$ Either:

$-$ an own$-$format CPD record, edited to include just the three selected activities, or

$-$ a report $($or reports$)$ covering the three selected activities, from the CIPD My CPD Reflections tool.

$($Not included in word count.$)$
