INTRODUCTION
Human resource development is that process which helps in designing and improving a
person skill and knowledge and makes him capable for contributes best work within an
organization. HRD add entire success to the firm for providing learning and training and
development programmers that will assist in increasing ability and skill of an individual. ALDI is
the multinational supermarket store which is based in United Kingdom. They provide different
types of products and services for gaining profit (Werner and DeSimone, 2011). The main
motive of this project is understand the role of learning styles and learning curve and also
identifies the importance for sharing learning within an enterprise. The training need at various
levels of organization and different kinds of training methods which help in improving skills and
knowledge of an employee so that they will easily achieve goals and objectives in effective
manner.
TASK 1
1.1 Compare different learning styles
Learning is connected with the theory of morals, facts, skills and preferences. Learning
refers to acquiring different things for gaining knowledge and information. It plays an important
role for improving employee's skills and knowledge by providing accurate learning for reaching
target goals. Here are the comparisons between two learning concepts those areas under:
Kolb's learning style- This learning is developed by David Kolb and it is totally depending on
learning cycle. There are four stages of this learning style such as:

Figure 1 Kolbs learning style, 2017
Diverging learning style- It is that learning where people are watch and observe different
learning rather than do anything. Those person who adopt this style who are good in artist work
and they are not done any physical work for gaining learning.
Assimilating learning style- It is theoretical and logical learning theory and most of the
people are adopt these learning style. They are always focusing on concepts and good in
scientific work.
Converging learning style- It is that style of learning which is totally depend on practical
work rather than theoretical one. The people who follow this concept they are good in soling
major problems and issue.
Accommodating learning style- this is one of the famous learning style and those people
who follow this style they are learn about internal emotion of an individual compare to practical
work. They are not interested in doing logical work anymore.
Honey and Mumford's Style- It has also four learning styles which are followed by
various people within an organization (Swart and et. al., 2012). These are as follows:

Figure 2, Honey and Mumford's styles, 2017
 Activist learning style- Those people who like to do experience new things in their life,
they are follow this concept. They are not thing about its result but they are learning how
to face different issues and problems in real world.
 Reflector learning style- Those people who follow this style they are carefully handle all
situation and they gather or collect secondary and primary data for analyzing correct
result.
 Theorist learning style- They are those people who are develops new concepts for
getting new observation and experience.
 Pragmatics learning style- they are those people who like to learn new ideas and
thoughts which has been applied in real life.
There are some other learning styles that are as under:
 Auditory learners- These are that learning style which provide benefit by adopting
traditional education method. The teachers adopt different lecture style for presenting
data or information for talking with their students. This style of learning is based on
verbal communication.

 Visual learning style- This is that method which are give knowledge through pictures,
diagrams, charts, written documents and films. This is also based on Kinesthetic learning.
 Kinesthetic learning style- It is that style of learning which give knowledge to a person
by touch, feeling, experiencing the material at hand. This is successful method which
assist in providing information in proper manner.
1.2 Role of learning curve and importance of transferring learning at workplace
Learning curve is directly impact on whole organizational learning and also presents the
overall record of employee's performance in the firm (Human Resource Development. 2017).
ALDI Company wills also transferring learning at their place which helps in improving their
employee's skills and knowledge for achieving target and goals. Learning has their own
objectives for sharing information and data within an organization.
Role of learning curve
Learning curve is shows a graphical representation for analysis employee performance
level. This present the boosting and diminishing the learning regards to experience (Knowles,
Holton III and Swanson, 2014). This is large tool and method which directly impact on training
and development program that are shown as under:

Figure 3. Learning curve, 2017
Importance of transferring learning at workplace:
An organization organize training and development program for their employees. This
will help in gaining abilities and capabilities which is important for sharing learning at office
place. There are some points which present the significance of transferring learning at working
location that are as follows:
 Increase value- Te main objective of every organization is to add knowledge and value
in the firm. So that if learning is not properly contributes in the firm then no value will
add in the enterprise.
 Usage of funds- Organization spend money for providing training and development
sessions to their employees for enhancing their knowledge and skills in proper manner
and if learning is not transfer well then all the invested funds are waste.
1.3 Assessing the contribution of learning styles
It is difficult for learning event for providing different types of practical knowledge
learning and theoretical learning to their employees.
Importance of learning style:

Learning styles are play significant role for proving accurate knowledge and skills in
better manner. There are different types of learning styles which help in gaining ability and
information by other person. Common styles of learning are visual, auditory and kinesthetic
which are basic learning. These are important for knowing basic information which are required
in real life.
This is a case which explained following example:
Case:
A is teacher, B is doctor, C is policemen and D is banker. After analyzing their profession then
need to evaluate what type of learning they are adopted in effective manner and also which
learning is best suitable for them. Then event manager need to know their behavior according to
this they are distribute work which they are easily handle and manage in proper manner
(Armstrong and Taylor, 2014). Then they should select learning style which are they like to
follow. On the basis of this evaluation manager will collect material and learning activities for
different individuals. In this case all people have different profession and they need to adopt
unique learning style. So that organizing learning event is very complex for a person and also
select each satiable style for different background people.
M1 Identify and apply strategies for finding appropriate solution
Problems solving strategy is best suitable for identify right and accurate solution for any
problem. This is important method for find out difficult issues which occurs within an
organization. A firm will adopt different in which all are not suitable for their structure and this
creates problems in bad manner. This strategy will help in find out major issue which creates
barriers and errors in the enterprise. So that firm can applied problem solving strategy for
identify right solution.
D1 Critical reflection to evaluate work and justify
The work which can be done by employees by using learning styles so that they will
evaluate each task in better manner. It is important for manager is to measure and evaluate
performance of an employee which can assist in achieving desired goals and objectives in better
manner. So that this is an essential task for measuring and managing all performance of worker
within an organization.

TASK 2
2.1 Training need for staff at different organization level
Training which are provided by manager is not similar for each employee within an
organization because role and responsibility of worker are not same at every level. All the
employees are playing an essential role for achieving desired goals and objectives. There are
various departments which are performing several functions and activities for reaching targets
and objectives n effective manner (Guest, 2011). So it is the duty of company manger is to
organize different training and development needs for the employees at each level. Organization
employer arranges and design need of training which are suitable for different department levels
which are as under:
 Training need at organizational level- the need of training are important for every level of

room and one by one instructor are come and gives lectures use black board for learning
and teaching them.

number of trainees in a class room (Brewster and Hegewisch, 2017). It is less expensive method
and more effective also.
Disadvantages- In this training method there is no scope for doing practical
demonstration so that they only learn by using black board or power point presentation.
 Demonstration of practical training method- This is very effective training method
where trainers are provide training in the practical field which is more effective rather
than theoretical knowledge. Organization will select that place where they can easily
demonstrate practical sessions and trainees are learning more things by practical
demonstration.
Advantage- It is that training method which is appropriate used by company production
department in proper manner. By this employee are enjoyed and motivate with this method.
Disadvantage- This method of training is only implemented on that time where practical
learning is required in the firm. It is mostly needs in the management level.

some situation in proper manner. it is used by an individual or group or team members
also.

method in management level for making decision in proper manner.
Disadvantages- This method is suitable of subordinate's level and it is not effectively
implemented on employee's level in the organization. It is expensive and cost effective method.
 Mixed training method- It is the mixture of all above training method and it is very
interesting method for developing and improving skills and knowledge of employees in
the firm.

Advantages- The mixed training Method is appropriate for company because thee are
various department and different divisions of those department (Boxall and Purcell, 2011). If

combined training to each employee within an organization in proper manner.
2.3 Systematic approach for plan training and development

4.1 Role of government in training, development and lifelong learning
Government play crucial role in training development and lifelong learning (Jiang and et.
al., 2012). There are certain points which focus on government contribution that are as under:

generating culture among different type of people that will assist them to develop and

developing training and development and lifelong learning process.
4.2 Explain how the development of competency movement of public and private sectors
Competency refers to that capability which assists in accomplishing desired goal and
objectives (Luthans and et. al., 2010). This type of ability needs certain education that will help

in completion of accurate job in effective manner. There are some concepts of competency
which are discussed under:
 Learner - Those person who have basic skill and knowledge but not scientific ability.
 Understanding beginners- A person who has primary knowledge of the job.
 Practitioners- Those persons who work for gaining prior knowledge for accurate time
period.
 Educated practitioner- A person who collect all the necessary knowledge which is
related to their subject for achieving the level of an expert.
 Specialist - Those person who have different field knowledge and they are capable of
doing every type of work in their job.
A person's competency revolves around this process and the impact of competency
directly affects the real world work place. Competency movement always influences the private
and public sector. Last years, the competency knowledge are not fully distributed and shared by
these two sectors. It is the big matter for the discussion and it is helpful in developing various
movements which impact on public and private organization (Harzing and Pinnington, 2010).
There are many experts who sit together and debate on standard of different competency
movement. Mainly public sector adopt competency movement for increasing growth and
success. The high standard of competency should be maintained and it is the server of the public
sector rather than private sector. This will help in conducting training and development programs
to make employees more confident for their job. By developing the advantage of competition in
market among private sector as well as public sector that will focus on higher competency
standard in proper manner. Company gives salary to their employees according to their
capability and how they manage and handle all the work. At the time of recession there are
various employees who lost their job by low competency standard. So it is important for the firm
is to analyze the different competency movements which increase growth and development.
Competition and competency increased in business sector by this public and private
companies have begun knowledge development programs (McKenzie and et. al., 2012). The
main objective of the firm is to earn maximum profit and reached the top position in the market.

They mainly focus on giving best and qualitative product and services to their customers in
effective manner. An organization builds strong relationship with their buyers which help in
attracting large number of more customers towards their product and services. Recently mostly
public sectors are invested funds in training and development programs to their employees. Firm
are providing opportunities to their workers and also take right step to accomplish desired goals
and objectives. There are different learning styles and theories which have been adopted by
public and private sectors that assist in increasing level of productivity and level of productivity
and employee performance.
4.3 Assess how contemporary training initiatives introduced by UK government
Stability and growth has been introduced in the public and private sectors by the UK
government. Contemporary learning is used in practical training which is used by various
employees for enhancing their learning speed (Wilson and et. al., 2012). There are various
objectives and factors of industrial government which gives effective qualitative opportunity to
their trainers. The main concern of training and development program is to improve workers
knowledge and skill by adopting different methods of training. All the companies are developed
and design new strategy which assist in achieving higher position in the competitive market.
They also innovate and modify their products according to the demand and needs of potential
customers and it is the duty of marketing manager is to satisfy and fulfill buyers need (Bakker
and Leiter, 2010). Different learning methods are adopted by employees to learn new things and
how to adjust in different working environment. Every firm should adopt different learning
styles, strategies, and training and evaluation method for identifying the actual performance of
their employees. When an organization provides training and development programs to their
employees then they easily achieve objectives and also face difficult situation which occurs in an
enterprise.
The main purpose of UK government by using training method is to eliminate poverty,
reduce unemployment rate, raise growth rate of economy and maintaining stability in the
country. Government has taken corrective step for providing training to their employees in better
manner. Every organization adopts this training method for increasing the opportunity of growth
and survivor. The workers of firm gives training for producing innovating and creative product
which help in attracting large number of customers and satisfy their demands (Gatewood, Feild

and Barrick, 2015). ALDI Company produces different types of goods and services for their
buyers. They mainly focus on solving various issues and problems which are related to product
quality, quantity, size, shape and color. An organization will adopt these training methods for
increasing the quality of goods in better manner. Government of UK play vital role in promoting
training and development programs in the country. This will help in formulating and developing
accurate knowledge by using training and development method.
CONCLUSION
Human resource development is that process which helps in designing and improving a
person skill and knowledge and makes him capable for contributes best work within an
organization. Learning is connected with the theory of morals, facts, skills and preferences.. It is
difficult for learning event for providing different types of practical knowledge learning and
theoretical learning to their employees. There are various departments which are performing
several functions and activities for reaching targets and objectives n effective manner. ALDI also
choose various training methods which are suitable for their workers in effective manner.
Systematic approach is very effective stage for the organization. There are various ways for
evaluating training programs. The main objective and aim of this training session is to identify
employee's ability and capabilities for distributing different work according to their behavior
also. Company manager will use various method of training for improving their employs skill
and knowledge before start the evaluation of training the manager meet with his team members
and discuss major points. A person's competency revolves around this process and the impact of
competency directly affects the real world work place. Competency movement always influences
