WORKPLACE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
Introduction
This paper is concerned with my role as a Human Resource Manager in an Eduvia (a
hypothetical company) which is an academic writing firm. I have identified that the current
skill gap and problem with the employees is related to their decrease in quality. Therefore,
this paper is concerned the different ways I am going to deal with the issue that includes
adoption of task analysis or work analysis, skill analysis, learning plan and long-term
learning plan, developing an effective learning environment, structured and work-based
learning and collecting feedback. Through the analysis of the specific problem related to the
academic firm it can be understood the ways in which different tools of workplace
environmental learning can be used by an HR manager.
Assessment 1: Project
PART A
According to Berman, Bowman, West and Van Wart (2012), the term Training
Needs Analysis (TNA) refers to the process in which the company recognizes the training
and development required by the company for the development of the employees. This is
done with the aim to ensure that the employees able to do their job with efficiency. It entails a
thorough analysis of the training needs that are imperative for the different levels of the
organization (Fleisher and Bensoussan 2015). As a Human Resource (HR) manager of an
academic firm, I decided that task analysis is required for the academic writing firm. In a
training needs analysis the first step is the development of a workforce profile. This includes

the vital information required to capture the demographics of the audience, literacy level and
education.
Reasons for the method chosen
The method chosen for the training needs analysis is task analysis or work analysis.
Task analysis refers to the analysis of job to specify the central duties and the essential skills
for the job (Beetham and Sharpe 2013). This facilitates training that would include pertinent
links for the content of the task. The reason behind choosing task or work analysis is that for
a long period of the company has been facing customer feedback in terms of quality issues
and inability of the academic researchers to understand the thrust of assignments. Therefore,
engaging in task analysis would be the most appropriate method as it would me to identify
the present issues and improve on them to lead to better productivity for the customers
Details how you establish gaps in knowledge and skills
As has been discussed above the task analysis would include a systematic breakdown
of the requirements for the job and would enable me to train the train the employees in a
proper manner (Ferreira and Abbad 2013). I would have to find out first about the training
period with the academic researchers and the course of content. This would enable me to
understand whether the trainer is accurately proofreading the content, looking into the
plagiarism issue, emphasizing on the structuration of sentences and whether the performance
of the employees are continuously monitored and evaluated (Bryman and Bell 2015).
Keeping a tab on the activities of the trainer would enable me to identify the gaps and skills
Explanation on how to derive feedback about a team member’s performance
Feedback can be derived through weekly tests that evaluate the performance of the
students and also through focussed group discussions that would enable each of the trainees
