management
(Document 1)
In general, a cultural and behavioural sectors plays a
vital role in the business management. Cultural and
behavioural expectations refer as a standard of living
and how a person expresses their speech in an
organization. This behaviour is helpful in the
business management. These skills promote the way
of conveying the speech and how it can be effective
in the management. An organization is built from
the internal structure of human creatures which
deliver a good culture in a company
(RACHMAWATİ and et.al., 2020). In my academic
sessions, I learned about the importance and
functions of the workplace behaviour and how it can
affect the productivity of an organization. Every
individual needs a good environment where they can
learn and celebrate their success. There are five
major factors which an organization has to follow
for the better success and they are psychological,
traditional, social, personal and economical. Each of
the element is expressing its own importance in the
field of business occupation. A good work
environment can increase the growth and
As I told that I have learned the cultural
and behavioural importance and it will be
helpful for me in the future existence. I
wanted to work in a multinational
organization at human resource position.
Learning this concept and understanding
the values of culture behaviour I can solve
and maintain the good environment at an
organization. This leaning help me to
increase my knowledge and abilities from
which where ever I will do a job I will be
able to balance and provide the employee a

with this, it also improves my motivation
and strength that I will be able to provide a

will practice by evaluating the
needs and requirement of an
individual employee so that
they can be comfortable and
satisfied. Along with thus, I will
take the feedbacks and reviews
from them so if anything
bothering them can be solved
with my hands. Providing the
healthy and familiar
communication will keep the
work stress low and makes the

The importance of
peer-to-peer support
and team working to
enhance learning
experience (Document
2)
In each department, it is obvious that a company can
obtain the successful position with the peer to peer
support. I had learned the concept of peer to peer
working in an organization. A group of people
working together can enhance every work procedure
and objectives. This peer to peer function is
important for every individual or an organization at
any department either the students or a businessman.
I learned that working in a group makes the work or
activity easier and effective. Thus function helps to
motivate and encourage the people as nobody will
have the pressures on its own (Lee, 2020).
Communicating with people makes to improve the
I had learned and acknowledge the
importance of per to peer support in my
studies. U came to understand the concept
of this function which will be very
effective and useful for me in the future
time. As it is already known that when
people work in a form of group the result
will be obtain in an effective manner. In the
above section, u told that u wanted to be at
HR position where this collaboration of the
people will be needed in an organization.
Being at that position, it is my
responsibility to make the employee feel
I believe that peer to peer
support is important for all of us
whether we are employee and at
higher position. I will take help

guidance in performing allotted
tasks in order to prevent myself
from failure and errors. I can

communication skills as well they improve their
experience of the work process. Team working is
very effective and beneficial at the professional
level. It helps to manage the work load and also
improves the knowledge by sharing each other. In
research, it has been founded that organizations who
follow the peer to peer activities leads at successful
position and 70% of the employee responded
positively and supporting the team work culture. The
team works helps to increase the decision making
process and leads to provide an excellent
performance to the organization. A management
should provide a little and short meeting where
employee can start and communicate with each
other and then it can convert them to follow the peer
to peer activities. When an individual has obstacle
and difficulty in some task they can take help from
the other team members from which they work will
not be affected and an employee will also not feel
pressured un the surroundings.
comfortable and satisfied. Many employee
of the other company has been complaint
that they have to work as an individual and
have to suffer from work load. Learning
this peer to peer support help me to
understand the needs and requirements

2018).
Along with this, I will make use
of all those skills that I learned
from team working in
completing assignments and
tasks. I will engage myself in
team working for completing
large complex projects in the
future because team working
can make me able in learning
ways of solving problems and
performing under pressure. I
believe that both team working
and peer to peer support will
help me out in career growth
and accomplishment of my
professional goals.
