TASK 1
INTRODUCTION
It is important to regularly develop your skills to compete with others. As we know the
competition level is increasing day by day and the professionalism is getting strong so that an
individual has to focus on their skills by their own. A person who knows how to manage the
personal and professional life will definitely work safely, legally and effectively in the
organization. The changes that are sensible for evaluating the exact job responsibilities with
confident skills are recognised. Health and social care workplace offers a suitable platform to
know the values and ethics of supported working.
1.1
In the health and social care there are a lot of rules and regulations which should be followed
by the employees (Hicks, et al. 2014). It is a platform where you can gain so much knowledge
about many things. The employees are bound to follow the rules and regulations which is made
for care and support others. The personal life of an individual matters in the health and social
care workplace. To maintain the personal values of the employee’s health and social care
organizations made some principles. There are different types of employees working in the
organization and all they have their different culture and value which is really important for
them such as tradition, culture, religion, freedom, lifestyle, equality, creativity and liberty.
On the other hand, the professional development of a person includes work values and
behaviour, competitiveness, effective communication, honesty and reliability. In health and
social care, there are many principles which are adopted by the organization to maintain
behaviour of the employees. The organization have to maintain equality between all the
employees and support them in their problems. The professional behaviour includes the
performance of the employee to attain the desired objectives of an organization.

1.2
Personal cultural and experience effect an individual in supporting customers and colleagues at
health and social care organization. Standards and principles at workplace contain providing
equivalent rights to each and every individual, preserving privacy at the workplace, defending
the clients from any kind of exploitation and damage having own cultural opinions and
knowledge helps the individual to make sure that it could provide improved and effective
services to the services users (Trorey and Cullingford, 2017). Personal cultural and experience of
an individual insures to serve fair and effective treatment to an individual.
If a health consultant follows all the cultural features and had familiar and knowledge of every
phase then it becomes easier to an individual to accomplish the goals and manage work process
and to defend the clients from all the troubles and problems. It helps in building trust among
the people coming to use the services of the health and social care workplace with the outcome
of which they try to improve the health issues. Cultural experience helps an individual to treat
every individual in a reasonable and equal way (Noncungu, 2017). Which mean an individual
having cultural knowledge and information which will not discriminate in the workplace and will
ensure that equal services could be provided to the care patients coming to the workplace. The
cultural prospects of any individual do not harm feelings and emotion of any person. The
changes in legal policies affect the cultural and operational process of health and social care
sector. For controlling these cultural effects, the health and social care organization adopt these
two acts such as:
Data Protection Act
Equality at Work Act
These acts are helpful in understanding social and cultural values and maintain an effective
working environment at the workplace.
