An evaluation of the implications of these different organization types for L&D policy and
practice
The L & D policy is generally practiced in the HRD (human resource department) of the public
and private organization to meet their aim and objectives. The learning and development policy
enables the public and private sector organization to control the activity of the human resource
department (Rees and Smith, 2017). In addition, it is also suggested that public and private
organization should make the link between the L&D policy and their business strategy as it could
be effective to accomplish their goal and attain higher competitive benefits. Apart from this, it is
also stated that improve the clarity towards the business activities could support the public and
private sector organization to enhance their business growth.
In addition, it is also recommended that public and private sector organization should enhance
their understanding towards the business strategy and resources deficiencies as it leads the
corporation to attain their specific goal. Moreover, public and private sector organization should
also enhance their understanding with respect to the organizational purpose and development
policy capability to gain the productivity of organization (Tam and Gray, 2016).
