INTRODUCTIONBusinesses are constantly focusing upon achieving an higher position in market in orderto lead them towards desired success. Above all, human resources are also considered as ancrucial element in business and therefore, firm needs to provide them appropriate training anddevelopment sessions so that growth and targets can be attained (Luthans, Youssef-Morgan andAvolio, 2015). Management of firm needs to appropriately design training events which wouldhelp them to improve their skills and capabilities in regard to satisfy the needs of customers.Therefore, each and every organization implements specific human resource development(HRD) in regard to handle the workers of firm and manage the assigned task effectively. Business needs to identify the needs of workers and fulfill them effectively so thatdesired goals and objectives can be attained. However, it has been evident that satisfied workersare more productive as compared to dissatisfied ones. Therefore, business needs to motivateworkers and enhance their efficiency level so that proper services could be delivered tocustomers (Richardson, 2015). In the present report Asda organization has been undertakenwhich is a British supermarket retailer and thus provides wide range of products to satisfy theneeds of customers. It mainly deals in groceries and thus sell them at reasonable prices in orderto attract wide range of customers and satisfy their needs. Report also helps in identifying therelated framework of understanding the need and importance of human resource development inorder to manage workers and enhance the sales and profitability of firm in market. TASK 11.1 Comparison of different learning stylesLearning is an important part of each and every individual where it is a direct way ofenhancing one’s existing level of knowledge with some improved and current acquaintances. Itnot only strengthens the existing cognition of an individual but together helps in attaining a moreimproved and up-to-date information. In context to which, there exists varied styles of learningthat are basically to assists the individuals in obtaining a pertinent set of knowledge in their ownway (Armstrong and Taylor, 2014). It is where all individuals are apparent to have distinctpreferences of learning with different modes of grasping things. It is thus with support of
different authors and researchers who have also contributed in discovering various styles oflearning as a way of aiding the individuals to learn in a stress-free manner. It is with a specificcontext of a selected organization named ASDA to aid in their training and developmental(T&D) sessions by adopting some pertinent measures of enlightening their respective set ofworkers. For which, there exists foremost learning style of Neil Fleming who have invented alearning model named VARK with is four leading constituents as referred below- 1.Visual-It is a foremost style of learning where a large number of individuals are evidentto learn via envisaging things where such envisioned tactic if helpful in acquiring quicklearning. Herein, ASDA can refer to use some pertinent measure in their T&D measuresby using charts, diagrams and pictures, etc.2.Auditory-It is a method in which most of the individuals are evident to learn things eitherby listening or discoursing, in a much faster way (Budhwar and Debrah, 2013).Withreference to which, ASDA can hereby refer to arrange their T&D sessions by usingseveral methods of debates, lectures or speaker notes, etc. 3.Read/ Write-It is yet another form of learning in which most of the individuals prefers tolearn by either repetitively reading the things or jot it down in the form of notes, etc. Forwhich, ASDA can hereby refer to provide recording tools to such employees whileattending the arranged session of T&D to jot down notes to read it when required. 4.Kinesthetic- This is especially in context to those individuals who are referring to obtain aquick learning by attempting it practically (Knowles, Holton III and Swanson, 2014).ASDA can hereby refer to arrange case studies and role plays to train and develop suchtype of individuals.
Figure 1 VARK Model(Source:Budhwar and Debrah, 2013)There together exists yet another impelling theory of learning proposed by Honey andMumford with its four main constituents as stated below-1.Activists-It is with a special context of those individuals who are more apparent to learnby practically performing the tasks where they are also not frightened to attempt newerexperiments.2.Theorist-These individuals are those who prefer to get into a detailed conceptualization oftasks by later undertaking it to implement in a practical manner (Brewster, Mayrhofer andMorley, 2016).As a result to which, they are apparent to take more time in learning ascompared to others who believes in learning in a feasible manner. 3.Pragmatists-These are the people who are more lively in nature and energetic than theactivists. As a result to which, they are more likely to make a direct implementation ofthings rather making a primary understanding of itat first. 4.Reflector-These individuals are more likely to learn reviewing and perceiving thingsrather than referring to understand it first and for which, they are referred to be the bestobservant.
Figure 2 Honey and Mumford learning style(Source:Brewster, Mayrhofer and Morley, 2016)It is on comparing both these styles of learning, it has been found that Vark and Honeyand Mumford largely differs from one another. Where both of these are evident to reflect adistinguish consent of learning based upon the mental and physical perceptibility of the workers.It is where the Vark model with more emphasis upon the physical acquisition of the workers inorder to grasp a particular thing is composed with four distinct ways of intercepting things.However, another model of Honey and Mumford is more convergent upon the mental ability ofthe employees with distinct modes of learning that is together relied upon their different set ofattitude.Basis of comparison VARK learning styleHoney and Mumfordlearning style
