learning styles which play a vital part in human resource development. The way of, learning
differs from person to person. Learning style is the way in which a person learns something as by
listening, reading or watching (Werner and DeSimone, 2011). Through analysing learning style
of employees of the Sun Count Residential Homes Limited, human resource manager will be
able to teach them in more easy way. There are different learning styles like Visual learning style,
Tactile learning style, Auditory learning styles and Solitary Learning style. These learning styles
can be explained as following.
 Visual learning style- This is the easiest and fast learning style. Any person of this style
learns through imagination of everything they read, listen or feel. Visual learner
remember the diagram and images. They face problems in verbal instructions. So if there
is anything apart from visual then there might be difficulty in learning for the person.
Most of the visual learner have good knowledge about map, charts and map. So visual

learning styles are important for employees as well as employers to improve the
performance of the human resource of the Sun Count Residential Homes Limited.
 Diverging learning styles-These types of learners are good worker in groups as they do
not take decision by themselves rather they observe other person actions and ideas
(KnowlesHolton, 2014). These learners are imaginative so they give better imaginary
solution to every problem.

organisations there are many learning session in which the speaker teaches by speech.
These types of learners are good at hearing and talkative. They are able to understand any
change in person voice as it would help in dealing with client and other employees. Thus

knowledge. Thus the learning curve and the transferring learning are main tools to improve
performance of the employees. It consequently helps in accomplishing objectives and goals in

the company. So the company are getting support by the United Kingdom government. They are
making the help because they are getting the affected by this in the positive manner. This will
give the effective result to the country. By this illiteracy and unemployment will get reduce?

business organisation. So there must be some techniques and methods through which employee’s
performance can be improved in the future to gain results in time. There are different learning
styles in which employees learn in event organised by the company. Right training methods can
