What is Plan of Action?
An action plan is a document that lists what steps must be
taken in order to achieve a specific goal. The purpose of an
action plan is to clarify what resources are required to reach
the goal, formulate a timeline for when specific tasks need to
be completed and determine what resources are required.

4.
Elements of the Action Plan
In developing an action plan, keep in mind these important points:
• Identify clear responsibilities for learners, supervisors, co-workers and
trainers.
• Develop a specific time schedule for completing activities.
• Identify resources necessary to complete the activities, including plans for
acquiring those resources.
• Instruct learners to use a learning journal to help facilitate the development
of an action plan. A learning journal is a notebook in which learners document
issues, problems, additional needs for skills development and questions that
arise as new knowledge and skills are applied on the job.

Monitoring
Monitoring the plan helps to ensure that the solution is being
implemented as expected. Evaluating the solution occurs after the
plan has been implemented and provides an indication of whether
the solution has rectified the problem.
In order to monitor the plan the following questions should be
asked:
Has each step been implemented correctly?
Has each step been implemented on time?
Has the expected outcome materialized
from the completion of each step?

Planning process

Reviewing each action
The final step is to develop a process to evaluate
the success of your Action Plan. This is the start of
an ongoing, long-term process which needs to be
both rigorous and well-planned.

11.
Some important questions to
consider are…
 Did the action reach the people it was meant to? If not, why?
 Did the action or activity have a positive impact on your
employees’ mental health? If so, to what extent? (Examples
might include more employees talking openly about mental
health or more employees seeking support in or outside the
workplace).
 How effective has the action been at producing intended
changes in the workplace?
 Are there any factors outside of the action that have
contributed to (or prevented) the desired change?
 Has the action resulted in any unintended change?
 What progress has been made toward achieving the overall
goal?

at appropriate locations as a means of mobilizing private sector resources
and achieving efficiencies.
