INTRODUCTION
Research is defined as the type of systematic investigation in which study is conducted of
several materials collected so that the development of facts can be conducted using assorted
sources of investigation in order to draw the new conclusions. It is basically the systematic and
creative work which is undertaken to improve the knowledge on the particular topic of research.
It generally involves the collection of data which is converted into relevant information that is
contented in the research report (Cr, 2020). It includes the analysis and organization of the data
to define the issues. It is a project which is the expanded form of the previous researches.
The chosen theoretical model is Gibbs Reflective cycle in order to produce the current
reflective report on the investigation undertaken based on quantitative analysis of data sets.
Gibbs reflective model is defined as the self reflection tool which is managed by the people to
think in a clear manner so that the experiences can be contented in a systematic way (Adeani,
Febriani and Syafryadin, 2020). People describes that what experiences they have gone through
and what activities they are indulged into while undertaking the project in order to draw the
suitable and an appropriate conclusions.
MAIN BODY
There are several stages of Gibbs reflective cycle with the help of which the reflection is
conducted step by step. Description is the first stage which describes the exactly what happened
at the time of project undertaking (Sekarwinahyu, Rustaman, Widodo and Riandi, 2019). I have
conducted the investigation on on TESCO who is facing the issue of performance and
engagement management within the firm. First I have defined the business problem then
accordingly conducted the literature review, then I have identified the data set sourced from the
ONS website, further I have used the quantitative type of analysis of the data sets while
presenting the visualization of data drawn from the analysis. Then finally I have contented out
the findings and conclusions. Feelings is the second stage which describes that actually what I
am thinking and feeling at the time of research. I was thinking that data analysis is a difficult task
because there large data sets which complicates the analysis. Moreover, I was feeling that I
should break them into smaller data sets so that in depth quantitative analysis can be undertaken.
Quantitative analysis is a type of examination of facts and figures in which numeric data is
considered. Evaluation is the third stage which describes that what was good and bad about the
