Individual Development Plan (IDP) Surveys
The class action settlement states “supervisors shall be required to offer employees a meeting at least once per year to discuss and/or establish an IDP.”
In addition, a survey was required by the settlement to obtain candid views from employees on the IDP process. The following are the results from the IDP surveys for the years indicated. We have included the data from each survey starting in 2004 for your convenience, if you would like to compare them.
