which controls and monitor each and every task which consist of training & development
sessions, hiring, safety wellness, organisational development, compensation, and so on which is

report, NHS is chosen as the base organisation which is a governmental body provide ample
number of services to customers related to health care. National Health Services is a healthcare
institution which was established in the year 1948 within England. In the present report various
sections are needed to be covered where management team of NHS need to required to adopt
some policies and strategies in order to retain their potential staff members for a longer period of
time. Along with this, the present report revolve around 3 main strategies of people management
which is talent management, leadership & management as well as training & development
sessions.
TASK 1
Key theoretical models as well as their applications
Leadership & Management
Leadership defines as an ability and potentiality of a person who holds positive power
within organisation in order to influence large number of individuals so that they will be able to
produce required outcome. But on the other hand, management team mainly concerned about the
process with the help of which each and every activity will be controlled and managed in an
effective manner. Therefore, it has been concluded that both leadership as well as management
both plays significant role within a workplace in order to achieve their targets. In the context of
NHS, human resources department need to develop positive and strong relationship with their
staff members for maintaining their sustainability in an effective manner.
Contingency theory:
It is the theory which was developed in the year 1964 by Fred Edward Fiedler.
According to this theory, the main emphasis of this theory is on the personality or behaviour of
leaders and how positively they deal with changing situations arise within the workplace
(Flyvbjerg, 2017). Along with this, it also says that no specific leadership and management style

is best suitable for an organisation. Managers and leaders need to modify their strategies,
approaches and policies according to the requirements and on the basis of situations arise at
workplace. It is said that there are mainly two prime outlines of contingency theory which
includes task as well as relationship motivated. In reference to the present context of NHS,
leaders of the organisation need to follow and adapt leaderships styles as per the situation arise
within the workplace. This is the theory which assist the leaders of NHS in order to adopt
dynamic environment in an effective manner and retain their potential employees for long period
of time. Apart from this, it will also help the management team in order to take effective
decisions and enhance the efficiency of staff members (Russ, 2014).
Training & development
It define as the procedure of enhancing and improving the capability and skills of staff
members working at the business entity so that their performance will be increased and assist in
attaining goals and objectives.
Transitional Model: It refers to the model which highly focusses on the whole
organisation. It has been identified that this is the theory which is based on two main loops.
Outer loop is the one which consists of mission, value and vision of the organization but on the
other hand in case of inner loop where every activity is executed. According to transitional
model, managers and leader need to develop training and development session so that new
technologies will be adopted by the staff members in an appropriate manner. In the present
context of NHS, while managers develop their training & development sessions it is very
essential to examine all the factors so that they will be able to gain competitive advantages.
Talent Management
Expectancy theory: It is the theory which was introduced by Victor Vroom. As per this
theory, it has been said that a manager and leader should motivate its staff members so that they
will provide various positive outcomes. For this different types of rewards, benefits and
opportunities should be given to the staff members (Stark, 2015). This as a result assist in talent
management.
