My Performance against the Development Plan
So far I feel that I am progressing in this course and my HR Assistant job role at a satisfactory level. By completing this assignment and the HRPM it has opened my eyes to the information and qualities I need to portray in order to progress.
Refection on Unit 1:
During Unit 1 – Developing yourself as an effective HR Practitioner, I have joined the CIPD membership and have learnt how to navigate around their website in order to find helpful information.
