Benefits of continuous professional development (CPD)
CPD helps employees 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 CPD helps build their confidence and credibility, allows them to showcase their achievements and equips them with tools to cope positively with change. Training courses will be of interest to those who are keen to embed intergenerational approaches within their programme of work.
