Personal and Professional Development
Introduction 4.1 Solutions to work based Problems
The personality and professional development is a
process by which the organisational individual get to
learn about the activities which are required to meet
the business objectives. Through this employee
improvement can be done. In this report the
solutions are taken to the issues faced the employee
in transforming the skills. The time need to manage
appropriately as well as communication style should
be chose unique.
Work based problems are obstacles and issues
relating to the difficulties faced by employees in the
organisation. These problems are complex and are
not defined and need to be solved in social settings,
involving others for team working. As a manager of
Travelodge, I will use solutions in various aspects in
my organisation for minimising troubles and
obstacles faced by employees and they are discussed
below:
Communication skills: Communication is very crucial in
business. It helps in exchanging the information, ideas and views
of different people in the organisation. It is very important for the
manager to communicate appropriately in an organisation. To
reduce this problem, I would effectively communicate with my
colleagues and staff in terms of instructing them of having clear
mission and vision about the organisation and work in
accordance with it. Moreover, to reduce staff turnover, I would
communicate with my subordinates regarding their problems and
address them accordingly to maintain a healthy environment.
Motivation: Motivation goes a long way in reducing employee
turnover. As a manager, it’s my duty to motivate employees
either financially, in form of rewards and bonuses or non-
financially like enrichment, transfers, etc. which will improve the
performance of employees and help them to work with full zeal
and confidence for attainment of goals. Motivation would allow
me to retain the staff at Travelodge and ensure their consistent
performance.
Training: It is the method which helps in providing effective
guidance and training to the employees. As the business
environment is highly dynamic so organisation has to keep
updated it policies and programs.
These programs of Travelodge may be focused on
individual performance or team performance. In order
to maximize the effectiveness of training and
development program, organizations must constantly
assess and identify their employees current training and
development needs to prepare them for their next
positions to achieve higher growth. Thus, when
employees are fully trained and aware of the duties
which are required to be performed by them, then it
further helps in solving problem of the organisation.
Dividing work: It is useful for solving work related
problems because a clear cut job description and duty
assignment for each employee ensures that all necessary
tasks are completed. I will be assigning specific duties
also allows employees to specialize and perform their
tasks efficiently. An evaluation of your current
employees and their responsibilities is a key step in
dividing duties. It also eliminating redundancy in the
duties each person performs makes more efficient use
of time and money in Travelogue.
Resolving conflicts: I will try to resolve the issues and
conflicts that may arise between the organisation,
individuals or teams. Conflict Resolution requires a lot
of time and commitment. One of the ways to further
engage the employees of Travelodge in the conflict
resolution process is to help them understand why
conflict resolution is beneficial at the workplace. It
helps in building relations and workers will work with
full confidence and zeal. It enhances the commitment
between conflicting partners. Working through the
conflict with others unites the conflict partners as they
face problems and deal with challenges together.

4.2 Communication in variety of styles
Communication is very essential in an organisation
verbally, non verbally or written. Without effective and
efficient communication, no organisation can exist. As a
manager of Travelodge I will use the following
communication styles in my working: -
Assertive style: This is the healthiest and most effective
style of communication. I will use this style for various
purposes like accomplishing goals without hurting the
employees, medium pitch while speaking, maintaining
proper eye contact, etc. This will enhance the
confidence level in me while communicating. Because
assertiveness is based on mutual respect, it's an effective
and diplomatic communication style. Being assertive
shows that the employees of the Travelodge respect
themselves because they are willing to stand up for your
interests and express your thoughts and feelings. It also
demonstrates that you're aware of the rights of others
and are willing to work on resolving conflicts. By
adopting this style in my working I will be able to gain
self-confidence and esteem, earns respect, improves
communication, etc.
Submissive style: This style is about pleasing other
people and avoiding conflict in the organisation. This
style will help me in identifying that other people's
needs are more crucial and they have more rights. In this
style, I will maintain soft pitch of voice. By adopting
this type, people in Travelodge try their best to please
others and avoid conflict. They will treat the needs of
other as more important than theirs and behave as if the
other person has more rights and more to contribute.
They are apologetic because they feel as if they are
imposing when they want something. They try their best
to avoid any confrontation and will yield to preferences
of other people. They feel like the victim and they refuse
compliments and don’t express their desires or how they
Setting deadlines: I will set deadline for completion of task.
This will help employees to not to ask regularly to the
superiors about when they need task to be completed. This
will also help them in determining how much time they will
have to devote for a particular task so that it can be finished
before the deadline.
Effective planning: I will train my employees for making
effective plans for their day. If they will plan their day in
advance with proper time allocations, then it will become
easy to achieve success and higher growth and enhance
development. By planning effectively, I will be completely
aware of all the tasks that are to be completed within the
specified time frame.
Delegate some tasks: As a manager, I will need to get the
work done, but it doesn’t mean I have to do all the work by
myself. Delegate some of the tasks to your colleagues or
subordinates. I will make my subordinates feel empowered.
This will help in completing all the targeted tasks efficiently.
Some of the tasks may need special expertise so don’t
hesitate to take the help of colleagues or peers, expert in that
area. Some of the tasks may demand only supervision from
my side, don’t get fully engaged into the work.
Promoter style: This style is about increasing enthusiastic
and people driven. This style will help me in maintaining
inter personal connections with my employees. When I
will use this style in Travelodge then people will spend
hours talking about their weekend plans but will also
detail a project from start to finish, providing the most
intricate of details. They are always talking about their
lives, plans, and ambitions, and are just as quick to ask
you the same and they will love to deliver personal
messages to the colleagues.
Controller style: This style will make me act as controller
which focuses on goal and major motivation is on to get
things done. In this, I will communicate point to point, set
and clarify goals and objectives, solve problems and
objectives, etc. By suing this style, I will be able to
motivate and dedicate people towards their tasks. I will be
able to make them goal-oriented and determined to meet
deadlines and objectives.
4.3 Various time management strategies
Time management refers to managing time effectively so
that the right time is allocated to the right person. It is one
of the most important skill in life. If an individual is not
managing time well, then they cannot accomplish goals
and objectives of work and life. Time is the greatest
equaliser in life. As a manager of Travelodge, I will
various time management strategies which will help in
reducing employee turnover and they are discussed
below:
Setting goals: I will set the goals right way by using
SMART goal method. This will help me in setting goals
by giving proper structure and plan. The best way is to
break these daily goals into chunks of small manageable
activities of shorter time targets. Tracking the
performance against these goals at the end of the day.
This will help me to keep an eye on the progress towards
improving work performance in Travelodge.
Setting priorities: I will set work priorities and complete
the most demanding and important task first. This will
help me in managing time according to the task which are
needed the more priorities. Experts agree that the most
important tasks usually aren't the most urgent tasks.
However, we tend to let the urgent dominate the lives. In
this strategy I will use one of the easiest ways to prioritize
Conclusion

which desired gaols will be achieved. The managerial skills
are required to be up-to-dated as per requirements of the
