Reflective Summary
The above section has summarized about role of HR Advisor within organization. HR
Advisor posses’ numerous skills and supports human resource to develop policies and maintains
wellbeing of staff by offering good employment policies. Organization has requirement for the
HR Advisor so it enlisted number of skills and qualities for this vacancy. So, I used skill audit
parameter to measured my excellent skills through rating scale like communication skills,
strategy development skills, team working cooperate nature as well as good knowledge about
government and policy laws which supported me to meet organization’s job requirement
(Barratt, 2018). Skill audit also determined my weaknesses as well such as problem-solving
skills, time management, work management, delegating skills and analytical skills which I
required to improve to fulfil requirements of HR advisor roles. So, I decided to improve my
weak skills by developing professional development plan. This plan supported me to improve my
weak skills. Thus, I make myself eligible for the HR Advisor post.
D. Learning and development culture within organisation
Difference between organisation learning and individual learning
Point of difference Individual learning Organisation learning
Resources In case of individual
learning resources are
limited in nature.
Individuals are lack with
Organisation learning also
consists up quality
resources to learn new

resources. skills and activities.
Resources are available
more than in case of
individual learning.
Proper guidance In case of individual
learning all planning for
learning is conducted by
individuals.
Guidance are an important
part of the learning
program and in case of
individual learning
guidance is not that
effective as compare to
organisation learning.
As the resources are
limited in nature which
also restricts the quality of
guidance in case of
individual learning.
In case of organisation
learning resources are
effectively available which
allows learner to utilise
quality guidance.
Guidance is more proper
in case of organisation
learning as compare to
individual learning (Murali,
2019).
Learning cost Learning cost is restricted
in case of individual
learning (ReidFerrara and
Karrett, 2019).
As compare to
organisation learning this
is cheaper for the learner.
It is more expensive as
compare to individual
learning.
This involves more
number of learners which
also increases the learning
cost.
Importance of continuous learning and professional development

skills and abilities. It caters the following importance.
Continuous development: Continuous learning provides the contours development of
the learner. Continuous development involves constant growth of skills and potentials in

Improve skills: Continuous learning and professional development improves the skills
in all learners (Mazzotti and et.al., 2018). It involves working continuously in improving
the skills and abilities of learners. Skill improvement is a key aspect in the growth and
development of the learners. This approach of learning enables learners to work
constantly over different skills.
Costly method: Continuous learning and professional development is a costly method
as it involves extra cost of financial resources. In order to learn continuously learners
needs to invest money on a constant basis.
The above points summarise the critical analysis on the continuous learning
process. Significance of continuous learning and professional development is described

follows:
Decision making ability of individual: Manager of Hightown housing encourages
views and ideas of different individual so that higher performance can be yield and
customers needs can be satisfied. The managers of Hightown housing provide
opportunities to individual to take different and crucial decision thus create felling of
belongingness among existing employees to work hard for achievement of desired

High performance workforce helps business to develop positive culture and
increase the communication level in the organisation effectively (Long and et.al., 2017).
Hightown Housing will be more effective in making decision due to potential employees
who have required skills and knowledge to increase customer engagement strategies
effectively. High performance workforce also participates in all the activities effectively.
This also helps the company to develop innovative culture and enhance the
performance to compete in the market and sale more properties to its customers

effectively. High performance workforce also helps to increase motivation in the
company and increase employee retention and also encourage them to become loyal.
This helps the company to reduce the cost of training and development of new
employees (Baldé, Ferreira and Maynard, 2018). Hightown Housing is also able to
implement effective change management policies in the organisation to increase the
quality o working environment to achieve objectives effectively with the help of high
performance working all the employees are efficient and this also reduces disputes in
the organisation and support the company to increase market share. Skilled employees
are also effective in increasing customer satisfaction by providing detailed information
about company vision and specification of products and after sales services which helps
customers to increase awareness and compare it with its competitors. High

which are present in the organization which needs to be achieved and with high
performance working there is going to be a commitment present in all the employees of
the organization which is going to help the organization achieve their objectives and
maintain their economic stability in the market. The quality of the services and the
management in the organization is going to be well maintained in the organization so
that there is a better functioning in the organization (Zuber-Skerritt and Abraham, 2017).

Different approaches to performance management
There are a lot of approaches which the organization can use for improving the
performance level in the organization so that there is a better functioning in the
organization. The employees are being rewarded and given an advantage in the
organization so that they can continue to give their best in the organization which is why
Hightown housing is having a revenue generation of £48 million.
 Collaborative Working
There is a well maintained collaborative working in this organization which is a
great advantage for the functioning of the housing organization in the market. For the
organization to expand themselves in other countries as well and become internationally
known they have to have a good team work which is present in the organization which
is why they are being able achieve their objectives from time to time (Leigh, Rutherford
and Williamson, 2017). The culture is being well maintained in the organization by the
human resource management in the company and there is a high commitment of the
employees as well which is because of the motivation which the human resource is
proving them. Collaborative working is going to get in an improved culture and
functioning of the organization which is a very essential factor. There is a better

organization to continue working in the market. Hightown housing has observed that
when the employees are given rewards they tend to work harder in getting in more
customers. There are mostly part time workers who want to earn the maximum they can
from the time they are spending in the organization which is why they are the once who

get in most of the customers in the organization (Mohamed, 2017). Employees who are
working for charity and for personal gain only those are not accepted in the organization
because there is a negative impact on the functioning of the organization which really
has to be maintained. The management has to make decisions accordingly so that
there is a better functioning of the organization in the market which has to be well
maintained. Focus on Culture
Hightown housing organisation also focuses on cultural values which improve the
performance of their employees. It is very essential for the business organisation to
