mainly used in providing large variety of professional and specialised training that assist
administration and other trainers to train employees in effective manner. Moreover, an effective
professional development provides higher growth for a particular individual's career. In this
report the organisation chosen is Travelodge. It provides various type of benefits to all type of
customers such as permanent and temporary both. It provides the opportunities to get a
membership clause too. It is basically operated by independent companies who have no
connection with brand in other countries. This report is going to analysis various approaches
which are useful in managing and self learning as well as understanding self managed learning
and development skills of an individual (Calderhead, Denicolo and Day, 2012) . Moreover,

The respective report also covers the solution of work based problems and communicate in
variety of styles and appropriate manner at various levels. Evaluation is provided for the

TASK 1
1.1 Approaches to self-managed learning
Self managed learning is a continuous and gradual process in which an individual take
effort to do something to plan effective learning (success plans/ways of reaching goals) to
improve self development. It is also known as learning by desire to do something/reason for
doing something (Elliott, 2012). There are many approaches talked about/said below through
which an individual can set their clear goals and figure out the worth, amount, or quality of their
purpose of planning and learning to complete their/reach their targets.

Seminars and Conferences: It is one of the best way to manage self learning process. If
an individual attend seminars and conferences then there is a wide chance to share ideas and self
experience. If he/she will attend meeting and share their opinions with others then there will be
more chances enhance self learning. It will benefit an employee or an individual in their
personality development and to improve personal skill. By sharing ideas and self experience,
person comes up with different new ideas. This will increase person's ability and confidence to
speak up in public. This will help Travelodge's manager to arranging various meeting and
seminar for its employees and it will helps him too in managing self learning activities.
Internet: There are wide varieties of social networks that include twitter, Facebook and
different other sites by help of which an individual can get diversified range of knowledge
platform for example, they can take advantage of sites like popular magazines, newspapers,
journals etc. (Olsen, 2015). They can acquire knowledge of various writers concerning subjects
like management studies, science sector, engineering area and business management. This will
benefit individual to develop their skills in private and professional area both. It can be used by
Travelodge manager for connecting the employees to a specific network, share opinions in group
etc. it will enhance the learning skills of employees as well as manager in management area.
Training Programmes: Training programmes are especially designed to train
individuals and employees in relational to specific skills. This will benefit each and every
individual to enhance their skills and capabilities.
Online learning: online learning will help the employees in enhancing their capabilities
and knowledge. Now in those days there are wide variety of online courses and programmes
which can be joined and attended at any time any where. These courses also less time consuming
and customized according to individuals time schedule.
Self help guides and manuals: self help guides and manuals can be provided to
individual which can be use by him at any where any time. These manual and guides can be
sepraded over a fix time period or according to knowledge level of prospective employees.
The above mention are some of the approaches of self learning that will help managers
of Travelodge in providing training to employees in self-managing and growing themselves.
Moreover, they are adopting conferences and seminar for self development of their employees.

1.2 Life long learning process in personal and professional
Travelodge are using various ways in encouraging life long learning process for its
employees so that it is beneficial for both individual and organisation. It is needed for employees
who are interested in learning and acquiring new ideas and skills for enhancing their growth and
development in personal as well as in professional life. Some of the life long learning process
adopted by Travelodge managers are determined below:
Continuous professional development: Continuous professional development refers to
the process of tracking and documenting skills, knowledge and experience that help in life long
learning process, as this help in managing and developing an individual knowledge on an
ongoing process (Zepeda, 2013). Travelodge adopt that for enhancing its employees personal as
well as professional knowledge and experience.
Apprenticeship: It is a type of training which provided on the job to employees. It helps
to enhance skills and knowledge of Individual continuously. So it is useful for both employees as
well as organization. That type of training save time for both such as employees and firm.
As a manager of Travelodge, individual adopt life long process in enhancing knowledge
of employees in both personal and professional life. The employees are encouraging for enacting
their knowledge on continuous basis along with their working. Which is beneficial for both
parties like firm and organization.
Funding for external courses: The life long learning process can be processed through
providing extra funding to employees for their external courses because due to lack of financial
resources sometime employees ignore requirements of their career.
Reviewing career plans: By reviewing career plans time to time it can be show that how
life long learning is important for their career goals. Because importance of everything make it
valuable. When the employees know how the life long learning important for them then they
encourage himself for learning new things.
Kolb’s learning cycle: David Kolb published his learning styles model in 1984 from
which he developed his learning style (Creemers, Kyriaki des and Antoniou, 2012). That theory
is worked on two levels such as four stage cycle model and four separate learning style. Herein,
four kolb learning styles:
Diverging: In that style peoples are covered who interested in doing things in various
ways. These peoples are very flexible in nature and look things from various perspectives.

Travelodge can be access that style for enhancing individual and its employees skills. These
considered best to solve problems from different viewpoints.
Assimilating: It refers to a logical and concise approach. That type of style include those
peoples who more interested in understanding information in clear and logical way. This type of
style is more preferred by science sectors firm. Travelodge can't adopt that style.
Converging: This type of style includes those peoples who interested in practical tasks
solving by using technical skills. Travelodge may use this style for enhancing the knowledge of
it's employees in professional and personal both area.
Accommodating: This type of style refers to those group of peoples who interested in
other peoples analysis and experiential approach. Travelodge use that style if it will not want to
take risk.
1.3 Benefits of self-managed learning to individual and organisation.
Self-managed learning is a process by which an individual takes initiative in formulating
and learning goals that is essential in one life's (Cruess, Cruess and Steinert, 2016). This process
of learning is beneficial for both individual and organisation as it is influenced by performance
of employees. The benefits of self learning are as follows:
Benefits to individual in Travelodge: self managed learning process is very flexible in
nature. As it is very beneficial in learning some specific skills through self learning. Sometimes
it is not accessible for individuals, moreover it will beneficial for individual to enhance ability to
deal in complex problems, expand its working ability. Which is beneficial for both organization
and individual. For example Learning while performing job task and going knowledge from
conferences and seminars.
Limitations of self- managed learning: There are various limitation too with the self
managed learning to individual, because there is always lack of a professional direction. Some
specific methods and styles can't be learnt by individual himself without a professional director.
Benefit for Travelodge: Most benefit of self managed learning process in organisation
is that it will help managers of Travelodge in reducing cost of learning process. This process
improves knowledge and skills and ultimately organisation will be benefited in terms of having
efficient and skills employees (Mc Donagh and et.al., 2013). Thus, it will lead to increase
profitability of their organisation by performing in appropriate manner. If the cost is not occurred

in bulk then it will increase its profitability. And high profitability is matter for organization at
wider level.
Limitations of self- managed learning: There are also some limitatiomn of self
managed learning to travelodge., because in that style of learning the vmanagers would not be
able to get proffesional and perfect staff. Employess turnover also high because of not getting
proper staff according to requirement and customers also not be retained through old skills and
styles of services providing.
TASK 2
2.1 Evaluation of own current skills and competencies against professional standards and
organisational objectives
Skill means a type of activity or a work that requires special knowledge and training. It is
that knowledge that enables person to do something well. The company Travelodge wants that to

assess their skills and competencies through evaluation of their performance. For this evaluation,
employees are required to do personal audit of their skills and competencies. The personal audit
made by the employee are as follows:

objectives
Skills to be developed Method of development
How to improve presentation skills I will work on this by conducting more oral

Time management skills Be a time estimator, time mapper and set smart goals
Assistant manger of an organisation have a lot of responsibilities and this job of assistant
manager requires good self management skills, personal and interpersonal skills, technological
skills, listening skills, leadership skills, problem solving skills and positive attitude. If skills of
the assistant manager have negative score as per his personal audit ,then they have to improve it.
As per the above personal audit report, leadership skills, problem solving skills and positive
attitude have negative score, therefore it is necessary to improve it in order to achieve
organisational objectives.
Some of the above negative score's skills that required to improve for the job position of
assistant managers are as under:
According to Joel Garfinkle, these skills are abilities and strengths of an individuals to
demonstrate the oversee processes and guide the employees in achieving the organisational
objectives (10 Ways to Become a Powerful Leader at Work, 2019.). Leadership skills can be
improved by me such as getting inspired, pushing away the negativity, by making good
communication skills, keeping transparent, be trust worthy and delegated etc..
According to Remez Sasson positive attitude is something that goes deeper and
remove negativity. In absence of positive attitude, an individual can't grow (The Power of
Positive Thinking ,2019). I can be able to achieve Positivity with the help of following points:
1. By sounding with the people who have positive attitude
2. Filling the mind with the positive input
3. Controlling the language
4. Creating a routine for a day
5. Being nice to other persons
6. Creating a high point in a day and week
According to Romans Roams, It refers to that skill which enable a individual to manage
time effectively (10 BASIC PRINCIPLES OF EFFICIENT TIME MANAGEMENT, 2019).

Without the managing time, standards of output can't be achieved. Time is main variable in
every field of life. Time management is not a stand-alone skill. Following are the some
principles of good time management which I can adopt for effective time management:
1. keep Tidy: Tidying up can improve both self-esteem and motivation. Individual
will also find it easier to stay on top of things if his/her workspace is tidy.
2. Pick your moment: Schedule the things according to the better time. Difficult task
divide according to best time.
3. Don't try to multitask: Generally individual are not good at multi tasking. So not
always be a multitasking people.
4. Keep things in perspective: Always be keep calm and take a moment to pause and
get the priorities in perspectives.
5. Don't procrastinate: if a task is genuinely urgent and important , get on with it.
Don't be so much concerned about ethic while doing a work.
The above mentioned skills are essential for the job position of the assistant manger.
Since these skills are missing in them, therefore these to be improved by taking steps in these
fields of skills and it will also helps in achieving organisational goals.
2.3 Identifying development opportunities to meet current and future needs
Development in a work provides an effective way of developing workforce (Bl and ford,
2012). In a work place development opportunities are available for a individual which help an
organization to have a win-win strategy. Following are the some of development opportunities
that help individual in improving skills and meet current and future requirement:
Monitoring work of superiors: Monitoring is very powerful tool which provides to a
individual, development of leadership opportunities and often has huge benefits for achieving
current as well as future needs of an organisation. That type of method would help in enhancing
the efficiency of working level and enhance the leadership skill.
Growth and development: It is required for me is to attend training sessions for
developing growth level. With the help of this, I can easily handle and manage all work which
are performed within an organisation and it would help in enhancing behavioural skills.
Above mention are some of the elements that are essential for me in reaching with
current and future needs. As this development, opportunities and needs help me in achieving
goals and objective in an appropriate manner for enhancing growth and development level.

2.4 Personal and professional development plan based on identified needs
Personal and professional development plan in essential in analysing an individual self
strengths and weaknesses (Linn, 2013). It help an individual to utilises their weak points and
overcome from these in an efficient manner.

As discussed above various skills are needed for the personal and professional
development. These needs a lot of time and modes for improvement. But apart from that these
skills are very helpful in career development. Without proper time management and problem
solving skills a individual can't overcome from a problem and timely close up of wok. As same
as the other skills are also needed at a vital level.

3.3 Reflect critically on learnings against original aims and objectives in development plan
For implementation of plan, Individual need to supervise own growth and development
level for learning desired objectives. Herein, there are certain methods of learning against
original aims and objectives of development plan, which are mention below:
Motivation: Motivation plays a vital roles in an organisation. Herein, it help me in
achieving effective targets, goals and objectives of a particular organisation. it also help me in
motivating employees in completing their task. For encouraging the workers I conduct various
role play, charity events, rotational activity and many more through all this I get to know how to
make employees encouraged and feel them happy so that they perform effectually and
accomplish the objectives the respective firm.
Superior knowledge and experiences: Individual need to evaluate skills and knowledge
of each and every employees within an organisation (Boud, 2012). Herein, from this Individual
have to evaluate past knowledge and experience which assist him in performing task in critical
situation with major challenges and opportunities. Learning and gaining knowledge is an

ongoing and life going process that is beneficial for both me as well as an organisation. With the
help of this it I can able to analyses the skills and abilities of every workers in company. Also,
learn that how to deal with the complex situation and make staff motivated to give their best on
the conditions as well. This is a challenge for me which assists me to become powerful in
different kinds of situations.
The above mention points will help managers of respective firm in implementation of
plan by critically evaluating aims and objectives in development plan. This will help to enhance
learning targets and other tasks achievements because this will be much affective, there will not
be need about any change in existing learning activity. As it assist them to deal with complex
situations as well as face challenges and accomplish their objectives more effectively.

4.1 &4.2: Poster

4.3 Evaluating uses of effective time-management strategies.
Times management approach is a strategic framework that assist in enchaining
organisational productivity in order to providing satisfying services to customers. In Travelodge,
it is my major responsibility to manage operational activities in effective manner. Through this I
can creates long term relationship of organization with employees by managing their
requirement and need properly. The effectiveness of these working practices are determining
through AIDA framework as -
 Attention: The attention of customers is a major element in marketing and growth of
business organization. I can acquire the attention of its customers through effective
advertising strategies. Through that model I can adopt various modern techniques of
advertising such as social media, various web apps, fashion magazines and many more
others.
 Interest: Interest refers to the willingness of knowing more about respective product or
service. I can adopt various strategies to acquiring more interest of consumers providing
them information about brand benefits and its important in lifestyle. By the help of it can

able to acquire more interest of customers by providing various vouchers to show it's
services.
 Desire: The consumer develops a favourable disposition towards the brand then it is
called as desire. I can able to acquire the information towards desire by adopting various
tools and techniques of gathering information. It may be in form of feedback forms,
ratings etc.
 Action: The consumer forms a purchase intention, shops around, engages in trial or
makes a purchase which is called as action of consumers. I can use online platform for
completing the action phase.
Strengths
These are the factors which helps in achieving organizational goals. The strengths of
AIDA framework are such as, attracting customers, interest, desire, etc..
Weaknesses
These factors are which make less effective of respective framework such as it is not
appropriate for all products, may be inaccurate, not helpful in promoting a line of product.
Delegation
Delegation of work is a very important time management technique that can really help
to save time. I should teach my employees how to break their job into small steps that are easy to
manage. When working alone, I will do less work but when I delegate my assignment to other
staff, the work will not only be done faster but will also be done better.
 Strengths: It will a major strength of the organization when employees do faster and
better work.
 Weaknesses: It will became a weakness of the organization because if delegation of
work is not proper then results will not effective.
According to the scenario there are a lot of work load due to which the employee
turnover increasing day by day so that I can adopt the delegation technique for time
management so that the proper task can be delegated among employees and excess workload can
be removed.
CONCLUSION
From the above discussion it has been concluded that personal and professional
development are helping individual and organisation to achieve high growth. Self learning

process is helping individual and employees in identifying various ways of self learning and
acquiring knowledge trough it. It is very beneficial in reducing training cost. Moreover, using
different learning methods and techniques which help in enhancing knowledge and skills of
employers and employees. Furthermore, Travelodge required to achieve its goals and objectives
by updating its development plan based on feedback and evaluation process.
