In the IDP Workshop
for Supervisors and the IDP Workshop for Employees, many questions
have come up around the IDP process. Under OHR's career development
page, there is a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) that
have come from both supervisors and employees. These questions have
been answered by OHR staff and legal counsel. Please take time to
review these FAQs at http://ohr.gsfc.nasa.gov/DevGuide/idp.htm.
