INTRODUCTION

individual plan for their development. On other hand, it also includes relationships with other
person, competencies, strength and various stages to achieve those goals. By learning
development skills, individual can easily manage their personal and professional life together
and develop their personal skills as well (Andersson, 2012). This process helps in building
capabilities of individual and also boost up the growth in their professional. In order to achieve
the objectives of personal and profession development, I have chosen Travelogue Hotel which is
located in California U.S. It has several hotel chains around the world. Firm has recently
celebrated its success of their 415 hotel in the UK. Human resource ' manager of this
organization time to time update their policies to ensure effective use of HR strategies in the firm
(Travelogue Hotel, 2016). On other hand, they also implement effective skills, training and
development programs for all the staff members. Along with this, the objectives that will covered

Travelogue Hotel, different methods of communication and personal and profession
development plan (Bates, Swennen and Jones, 2014).
TASK 1
1.1 Evaluation of self-managed and lifelong learning in relation to my own experience
According to case scenario, I am working at Travelogue Hotel as an assistant manager.
For my better growth, personal and profession development plays an important role. The reason
is that, in my profession life I have to deal with lots of customers and manage all team members.
Further, by managing all things into appropriate manner, I can develop my communication and
management skills in hotel. Further, I also suffer from many problems which are related to
communication and time management (Bassot, 2014). On other hand, for fulfilling needs and
demand of customers at my workplace I used so many methods and they are as follows:
Internet
For my development, I used internet and searched various articles which are based on
changing behaviour of customers and their expectation from the organisation (Human resource
management, 2016). With the help of these articles, I can easily prepare a questionnaire for my
all clients.
