2. HR development management model
The HR development management model (HRDMM) developed during the research ensures development
planning for employees – creation of employees’ development plans2. An employee development plan is a complex
of advised development solutions that foster the reduction of the competence gap. In an ideal case, when
implementing the development plan, the employee gains the necessary competences and achieves full compliance
with the desired profile of competences3. However, the results of the development process as to what extent the
employee would reduce the competence gap and comply with the desired profile of competences depend upon many
factors and the development plan is only one of them.
