GROWTH PLANNING
Pause. Reflect. Discover. Grow. Achieve.
Growth Planning: Set Goals. Discover Your Drive. Transform Your Career
Take control of your self-development and career growth. Because real growth doesn’t happen by accident — it happens by intention.
Growth Planning gives you the time and space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what truly drives you. It helps you clarify your direction, turn ambition into meaningful goals, and take focused action towards a career — and life — that inspires you.
This is your opportunity to step back from the day-to-day, gain perspective, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
The video below is your starting point. It walks you through what a Growth Plan really is, why it matters, and how it can help you take ownership of your development — so that every step after this one is intentional, energising, and aligned with who you want to become.

Growth Planning puts you in control of your career growth and development. It helps you track your impact and progress through SMART objectives you create and agree with your manager. Use this webinar and the Growth Plan as your roadmap for regular, energising conversations that accelerate your growth.
Access Growth Plan TemplateWorking Through Your Growth Plan
With a clear understanding of why your growth matters, it’s time to begin shaping your path forward. Your Growth Plan helps you explore three powerful areas:
Discover Your Motivation
Look beyond salary and job titles to uncover what truly energises you. By identifying your values, passions, strengths, and long-term vision, you’ll gain clarity on what matters most — and begin seeing your work through a more meaningful, purpose-driven lens.
Control Your Development
Reflection is just the beginning — action is where real change happens. Your Growth Plan transforms insight into direction by helping you set clear, achievable goals, track progress, and build a practical roadmap aligned with both your career ambitions and personal aspirations.Â
 Influence & Impact
Growth doesn’t happen in isolation. By connecting your goals to your team and organisation, your impact expands. Sharing your plan through open, meaningful conversations strengthens collaboration, builds trust, and ensures your contribution is visible, valued, and felt beyond your own journey.Â
What Your Growth Plan Helps You Achieve
A growth plan isn’t just reflection — it’s actionable growth.
It helps you:
✨ Clarify your values, goals, and ambitions
✨ Understand what motivates you and what you need to thrive
✨ Build confidence, self-awareness, and resilience
✨ Find meaningful opportunities to learn, grow, and make an impact
✨ Connect your daily work to a bigger purpose Â
Your Growth Plan reaches its full potential when shared. Talking openly about your goals with a manager, mentor, or team helps you:
Â
Â
- Feel seen and valued — your ideas truly matter
- Build trust and stronger relationships — alignment grows through conversation
- Gain perspective — others can help spot opportunities you might have missed
- Amplify your impact — when people understand your growth, they can help you achieve more
Completing your growth plan — and using it to guide regular conversations — gives you clarity, confidence, and support to accelerate your journey. Imagine a day where your work aligns perfectly with your purpose — how would that energy, focus, and fulfilment feel?
Why Your Growth Plan Matters To Your FutureÂ
You spend more hours at work than almost anywhere else. Does that time feel meaningful? Are you growing and developing — and if not, why not?
Fulfilment comes from more than pay. It comes from:
✨ Being trusted and empowered
✨Taking on challenges that stretch and develop you
✨ Mastering your craft and becoming an expert
✨ Learning from people who inspire and challenge you
✨ Seeing your work make a visible, meaningful impact
Growth is the connection between what energises you and the difference you create. When your personal purpose aligns with your work, your focus sharpens, your motivation deepens, and the impact you make multiplies.
The HRP Growth Plan (Programme?) gives you a space to pause, reflect, and uncover what really drives you. It helps you understand:
- Who you are now
- Who you want to become
- What will help you thrive — professionally and personally
Answering these questions isn’t just an exercise — it’s the first step toward taking control of your growth, making decisions with clarity, and shaping a career and life that energises and inspires you.Â
3 Steps to a Quality Growth Plan ConversationÂ
Once you’ve built your plan, the next step is bringing it to life through conversation.
- 1 -
BEFORE
Complete any relevant pre-work or toolkits to support your thinking.
Take time to thoughtfully complete your My Growth Plan document, ensuring all objectives are SMART — Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.
When ready, schedule a one-to-one with your line manager to explore your plan together.
- 2 -
DURING
Your Growth Plan conversation should be open, honest, and collaborative.
Review each section of your plan together, refining ideas and aligning objectives with both your personal goals and the wider priorities of the organisation.
This doesn’t have to happen in a single meeting — meaningful growth takes time, and the conversation can continue across several sessions if needed
- 3 -
AFTER
Update your plan to reflect the outcome of your conversation and submit the final version to your line manager within 48 hours.
Remember: your development belongs to you. Own it. Drive it. Champion it. Any agreed courses or learning opportunities should be coordinated directly with your line manager.
