• Planning: Creating a plan for the employee's development, including specific goals, training and support required, and a timeline for achieving those goals.
• Implementation: Providing the training and support required to help the employee improve their performance and reach their full potential.
• Evaluation: Measuring the employee's progress over time to ensure that the development plan is effective and making any necessary adjustments to the plan.

Development Centre may also include feedback sessions, coaching and mentoring opportunities, job rotations, special assignments and other types of experiences to promote the growth and development of employees. It is a continuous process that can be conducted through an individual or a group. It can also be led by internal or external consultants, according to the organisation's needs and goals.
