Changing jobs or positions in the same company requires preparation and training, in addition to establishing a personal action plan (known as PAP in the human resources universe) with which to achieve new goals.
This action plan must clearly reflect what one wants to achieve with the change, and be aware of how the execution will be to achieve it. Nexian, a national network of human resources agencies, ensures that the personal action plan must contain clear and precise goals as well as objective and feasible.
From the company they highlight the importance of “concentrating during the creation of said plan and writing it without any type of negativity. Only if it is done from positivism, the results of that plan will be positive.” Nexian offers some tips and steps to execute the action plan.
1. Focus on what you want and don’t want
Being clear and establishing the objectives and goals that you want to achieve will be a key element for the plan to be sustained over time. A time that will also be essential to determine and comply with to the letter.
2. Set the reasons for the plan
Knowing why it is carried out is necessary to be clear about the benefits that can be achieved with the change. To be successful in this task, from Nexian they advise establishing short, medium and long-term purposes. “Without losing sight of the long-term goal, it is very important that those small steps that are taken weekly or monthly, and are taken well, to achieve the final goal are not left aside,” they clarify.
3. Write down the activities
It is very important to write down or have a very good record of all those activities that will be necessary to achieve the set purpose, and to do self-criticism to think about what skills you have and what you have acquired throughout the plan.
4. Analyze the risks or complications
During the development of the mission it is possible that complications arise, and it is essential to analyze the possible problems. “As in any project that the human being considers carrying out, in a personal action plan with which it is intended to change the professional trajectory, it will be necessary to imagine the obstacles that we may encounter before they appear in order to be prepared and find a solution” they point from Nexian.
5. Assess the cost of the plan
Not only the economic cost, but also the cost of time and dedication of third parties that may be involved. “In the event that there are third parties involved, the executor of the action plan must define from the beginning what is and will be the responsibility of each of them,” explains the human resources network.
6. Define what or who will be the supports
In this way, the action plan will be more bearable. Activities such as watching a movie, ‘giving yourself’ a lunch or dinner at a restaurant, buying some clothes or dedicating part of the day to oneself can favor the development of the task.
In addition to all of the above, Nexian indicates that for all of the above to be possible, it is essential to strengthen qualities such as self-discipline and determination.
