Personal values and principles drives and individual's highest priority and force which
drives him or her. The personal principles are based on individual perceptions, opinions,
thoughts, goals and aim of life (Redmond, 2017). When a person becomes a part of an
organisation he or she brings those values and beliefs within the organisation. In environment of
business or organisation these principles or values blend with those of other employees within
the company that assist in developing a family culture within the business. This culture within
the organisation or business becomes a personality of the business. Some personal work
principles and value of an employee or worker includes recognition, security, independence,
leadership and work mastery. Health and social care workplace is a platform where almost every
aspects of an employee depends upon principles and values. Each and every healthcare employee
needs to understand the necessity of these principles within a workplace. There are various
personal principles such as polite behaviour, honesty, dignity of a person, religion, tradition,
courage, justice, freedom etc (Fanning, 2017). On the other hand there are several principles
related to the health and social care settings which includes working principles or value
developed with the help of team work, competitiveness, dedication, effective communication
reliability, ethics and professionalism. In context to the principles of health and social care
settings it is important that an individual must treat each and every individual equally and should
provide fair and proper treatment to the people working in an organisation.

Personal experience and culture affects a person or individual in assisting colleagues and
customers within a health and social care organisation. Beliefs and values within the workplace,
involve providing equal rights to every employee or individual, protecting Service user’s from
any kind of harms or abuse, maintaining confidentiality within the workplace (Maslach, 2017).
Having own cultural experience and beliefs assist an individual to ensure that it could provide
effective and better services to the clients. Personal experience and culture of a person enable
him to serve effective and fair treatment to each and every individual. If person working in
health and social care organisation follows all the aspect of culture and experience every stage
then it becomes easier for a person to protect their service users from various harms and manage
the work effectively. It also helps in developing trust among the people or customers who are
using the services of health and social care organisation. Trust is an important factor within a
health and social care settings as people are highly concerned with their health and issues related
to it. Therefore, it can be concluded that individual's culture and experience can help in avoiding
workplace discrimination and build equality to provide better health care services to patients.
The communication skills of an individual also plays an important role in health and
social care. Personal communication skills of an individual helps him while working in a health
and social care organisation, and it is very essential to have effective communication within the
industry, The communication skills help an employee interact with the patients and provide
effective healthcare services to them. Interacting with the patients is very important which helps
to understand the need and wants related to care services.

affect the work. It is fundamental that an individual should effort to assess the alterations and
attempt to hear new things at the working environment on the grounds that these trademark help
with holding the abilities and characteristics of a person at the work. Any sort of progress
whether it is in the qualities, conduct, convictions or mechanical change greatly affect the
procedure of the work and on the individual working that specific work. Self-awareness and
changes will aid keep the abilities of a person. There are various changes and development such
as improvement in communication skills, improved communication skills can help an individual

supervisor can get a huge whole of data or information on any subject with the assistance
of web. It is a very productive technique for self learning as the web can give compelling
and significant data right away, on any theme or research (Schaufeli and Maslach, 2017).

period devouring strategy and furthermore uses numerous assets.

can without much of a stretch take in a great deal of things investing energy in different
person to person communication sites. The long range informal communication sites

I have understood that the development plan made by me is effective and also help me in
the future progress as a health and social care practitioner. This is done by me developing
effective understating towards different aspects presents in the market and also the requirement
of health and social care at workplace. It can be said that a good and effective social and health
care practitioner requires various communication skills and knowledge in order to communicate
different things effectively (Ventola, 2014). It will help towards effective care of people related
to health and social care. In addition to this, a health care professional or practitioner should have

towards problems. In addition, leadership skills and style also help to lead and manage the team

TASK 3
3.1
Professional relationships: It can be said that this is a relation in which the relation is handled
by a group of people in the capacity of a professional in order to create effective working
capacity and capability to increase progress system effectively. In addition to this, a business also
develops an effective relationship with its employees in order to increase their positive behaviour

in the work in progress system effectively. In order to increase betterment within firm, there are a
lot of professionals are hired in order to enhance effectiveness of working and professional
relationships in an effective and timely manner.
Relationship with team members: it can be said that, there is an effective need of regulations
and policies on working system as social care and health roles and responsibilities are managed
by employees and co-workers. Team members have different roles and responsibilities in order
to come forward for the help of workers that working together as a team will help to motivate
and encourage health and social care various aspects. In a business, health and social care have a
lot of importance that health and safety of workers is an important aspect of every business that
different tools and measurer are engaged while they work in working system within firm
effectively. Emphasis upon working style is also put by social and health care that it is
responsibility of managers to coordinate with subordinates regarding professional code of
conduct, trust and advocacy in the system efficiently.
Social work practices requires various tools and equipments in order to make new forms of
monitoring and recording effectively. The use of information and communication technologies
plays an important role such as common assessment framework in order to assess case
recordings. Social worker should use ICT and CAF to share data and information to
communicate with people in new ways.
3.2
It can be said that workers are the pillars of every business ad helps towards success in
order to accomplish desired goals and objectives. Personal effectiveness is to determine working
quality of workers while the work is in progress effectively. In addition to this, personal
effectiveness helps to provide aid in many various ways in order to promote and support workers
towards their individual rights and behaviour within firm. Personal effectiveness development is
necessary within firm in order to overcome process dilemmas and risk involved in working
system. There are number of points come into mind while notice with wide level of study. High
remarks towards employees can be easily managed by the manager in firm if there are proper
assistance is provided to them in terms of training and development programs etc. this will help
to improve their skills and knowledge and also enhance their working ability. Different rights of
workers should be provided to them by the managers in order to feel them free and comfortable

towards firm that helps to manage an effective relationship effectively and efficiently. In addition
to this, employees has also rights to speak about their opinion and thoughts that the opinions
given by workers should be considered by managers to provide inclusive support to them. This
will also help to enhance their working style and motivation which lead towards effective hard
work. This will also help to enhance profitability and productivity which helps business to
accomplish desired goals and objectives. With a proper study I can understand that personal
effectiveness provide valuable support to workers in order to enhance their skills and make
effective relationship as well. Proper communication plays an important role in order to develop
personal relationship and also to understand individual roles and responsibilities effectively.
There are many situations when an employee passes from grieving situations in which he
requires emotional support. I personally had an experience of assisting employees with such kind
of situation when I was in a supermarket. The manager shout at a worker in the store for his little
mistake which makes him a bit unconfident. He was crying literally and I was not able to saw
this. I went to him and provide some emotional support so that he can feel strong.
3.3
There are different ways from which the organisation is able to concern with the
professional relationship effectively. It can be said that personal relationship is a key term that
helps to denote cultures and behaviours of workers with each other in progress working system.
In order to manage business sustainability and also to manage long run of workers, the
professional effectiveness plays an important role. There are different problems identified in the
professional relationships of workers such as right dilemmas, different working style, winning
reward and their benefits, grouping, working conflicts, ego, less team working in team working,
confrontations with the other market companies in the working systems and further more.
There are different ways to encounter such issues that proper development of working
system, providing adequate amount of workers to manage issues is one of the best method to
resolve such issues in an efficient manner. Helping workers to get them out from service
concerns and ethical dilemmas. Troubleshooting of various stakeholders and incorporation of
various functional channel is also helpful. In addition to this, Creative activity of isolated whistle
blower mechanisms that would be the best aids to workers in their working system. Proper
meetings should be analyse and also agenda of meeting should be proper that communication

could be improved regarding employees concern effectively. Clear critical path helps workers to
work according to their skills and knowledge that it will also help them to understand working
system values. Proper arrangement and management of working structure and functional system
that could establish a positive and effective culture and also a peaceful and effective working
environment for the workers in
different steps and processes of business. One of the most crucial points to determine is that
health and social care are very imperatives towards effective management of workers. I
understood from the whole study that collective team efforts and contribution of employees at
workplace will help business to achieve desired goals and objectives and also provide strength to
resolve problems determined in professional relationship effectively.
Counseling services: The counseling services are free and also confidential resources for all the
present enrolled AU students effectively. This will work as group therapy for social care
networks and organisations who are affected by significant life events.
Time off work paid leave: Personal time off or paid time off is a policy managed by
organisation in some worker handbook that helps to provide bank hours that also help social
workers to take sick leaves, vacation days and personal days as well to use them towards
their desire effectively.

social care services and also advice centers as a free helpline. It is also one of the leading
charity services providers in UK that helps individual affected by significant life events.

decisions on that preface. In the event that there ought to be an event of working with others I
may not be prepared to revolve around the lifestyle of the clients and their necessities which can
incite in dynamic results.
While working with others or in a social occasion there rise the most distant point on
taking decisions on a particular task or activity in light of the fact that there are contemplated
viewpoints of each part. On the off chance that there ought to emerge an event of working with
others it is imperative to create trust and respect inside the people. Data confirmation is my
commitment and this must be considered to guarantee and secure the electronic data and its
passageway by others. Nevertheless, this is in like manner obliged in case of working with

Minimizing team barriers- Team is a group of people and it works to achieve organizational
goals. They face some barriers during their goal achievement and it is not a good signal for team
growth. There are two barriers who affect the team effectiveness-
 The absence of trust among people.
 Failure to deal within team issues.
To reduce these barriers I take some actions which are beneficial for team growth. It is my
responsibility to build trust among the members. If I want that my team achieve their goals and
objectives than they have to work together. As a team it is necessary that its members have fact
on each others. I have to arrange a common conversation with team and ask about their opinion
while making something. This activity gives a chance to know each others. After know others
they start taking interest in other member. Second barrier in team growth conflicts within team
members. Problems among people arise when they are not agreed with each other suggestions
and behaviour. I have to solve issues between them. I have to organized some inside and outside
activities to know others. If people always engaged with their job responsibilities they never
come to know others and they start reject each other thoughts. So monthly or quarterly I arranged
activities which are helpful for them to know themselves and others. If I want that my team work
as a unit than I have to provide them a friendly environment.

conscious effectively. I also recommend my perspectives and thoughts to the group which can
help in development and builds the level of interest in basic leadership.
