development classes for employees so that they aware for technology and give the best

performance at workplace. HR department applies T&D processes in classes. The process is
completed into five steps i.e. Analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation.
Analyses:
HR department analyses employees performance at workplace and according to
requirements and current situation in order to knowledge gap and training introduces training
strategy (Bratton and Gold, 2017). The main goal of the training is to update employees about
new technologies which utilizes for advance treatment, standard in organization.
Design:
On the basis of current situation makes training plan, in which includes strategy, delivery
methods, infrastructure, time duration, appraisal and reviews. Thus, HR department prepares

It is important area of NHS which requires high potential employees who can perform well-
formed and accomplishes organization needs. Various administrative policies and standards are
new to management and unable to implement on organization which leads prosperity over the
years. HR department applies talent management theory for polling the talent which matches
with job positions. The main goal of the approach to improve high performance of employees,
motivates them and retains them in organization to make their performance better (James, 2017)
(Fiaz, Su and Saqib, 2017). In the talent management framework includes four steps workforce
planning, learning and development, talent pool and employee engagement.
Learning and development: In this process, manager identifies employees needs through the
feedbacks, outcomes and occupation learning. The training process is based on the three
requirements. For example functional, capabilities and improving potential individual;
employees at workplace.
Navigate initiatives (talent pool): HR conducts various challenging task in organization to
identify and improve the talent for the future.
Workforce planning: Human resource makes plan for recruitment so that enable to attract the
best talent. That's why manager keeps two type recruitment procedure. For example external
recruitment and internal recruitment (Seperich and McCalley, 2016). In internal recruitment,
manager observes employees performance in order to number of target achievement, on the basis
of talent, behaviour and knowledge offers job to employees for above force. On other hand
external recruitment process recruits those candidates who posses different talent and can utilize
for future demands.
Employees engagement: Manager introduces different policies for employees so that they get
satisfy and retain in company. Thus HR management assembles current situation and applies
theories which helps to gain future objective over the time.
LO2

LO3
Different internal and external influences in three areas
Leadership and management
Internal influences : Employees who offer their service in NHS are unable to comply with
work pressure due to low productivity of employees. That's why employees demotivate in
organization. In that situation HR department permits employees in decision-making. On other
hand employees gives their involvement and explore new ideas. Manager encourages employees
to create creativity at workplace so that employees offers high standard quality services to
patients. This leadership style leads high productivity of employees at workplace and reduces
work pressure in organization.
External influences: Democratic leadership style influence by external factor because it is
based on employees well-being. That's why organization gets positive prospect. Economical and
legal factors gives negative impact on NHS organization (Collings, Wood and Szamosi, 2018).
For example due to democratic leadership leads high turnover of employees but reduces
economic benefits because employee can hire on low wedges. This rule comes under
employment law which is classified in legal factor. It is beneficial for employees but doesn't
beneficial for NHS. Political factor influences organization operation because NHS offer health
care services to patient. That why government also supports organization to promote their
organization around the world.
Training and development
Internal influences: HR introduces training and development classes for employees
because employees is outdated for advance treatment technologies. This strategy helps manager
to improve employees skills so that they can deal with complex situation. Training helps
employees to gather information and learns new technology operations which can apply at
workplace and can offer clinical and non-clinical services in organization (Townsend, Loudoun
and Wilkinson, 2018). Thus, Training influences employees work performance and well-being at
workplace. Even organization gets positive aspect of the training and development process. For

example In training process, evaluation is main part of process which helps to evaluate employee
performance in order to task achievement within organization.
External influences: Political factors gives positive impact on organization because NHS
provides training and development classes for medical staff who offers their health care services
to patient. Government wants standard quality services for patient which can come from training
and development. That's why government promotes training and development classes for
medical and non-medical staff. Environmental factor gives negative impact on organization
because it requires talented trainer who can address about new technology to staff. Training and
development program requires high cost along with particular time period.
Talent management
Internal influences: Talent management theory is an approach which helps organization
to address about administrative policies, recruit talented employees and improve high
performance of staff in organization. This approach influences organization operation in well-
formed manner. Talent management helps manager to recognize highly talent employees who
can meet future requirement. To retain talented staff manager offers reward strategy and
employees engaged policies in organization (Yaqoot and et.al., 2017). Thus, kind strategies not
only retain talented employees but also attracts talent for recruitment. Talent management
reduces turnover of employee and retains those skills which is highly required for job position.
Thus, management influences employees performance and patient compliance in organization.
External influences: Administrative policies gives negative influences on organization
because NHS have to change their operation and follows rules according to governmental norms.
In that situation work pressure is heightened and another reason advancement in treatment
creates obstacles in management operations (Knies and Leisink, 2018). In that state NHS
management offers talent management theory to assemble current situation of organization and
converts policies for future benefits. As result organization enables to resolve the problem of
technology advancement by training and development classes and follows governmental policies
by alteration in organizational policies.

organization and improves employees skill. That's why manager should use training
session period which leads fruitful aspect in organization.
