is trying to develop the academic and professional qualification in such a way which meet all the
level of national curricular framework and the local demand (Lin and Chen, 2017). Focuses on
acquiring and maintaining the resources to create memorable practical experience for the student
and develop their interest in the various subjects. It also focuses on the adopting best practices of
leadership, governance and employer’s management to ensure the healthy and productive
environment for the stakeholder. LSST mission is to provide value in terms of transparency,

The position of LSST among the top 10
Among the all-other higher education organization, it comes on the 6th position. Moreover, it’s
main objective is to provide quality education to the students and update the courses as per
requirement of the local community and environment changes.

The immigration restriction within the United Kingdom has an impact on LSST employers
Due to immigration restriction, LSST employers suffers the problem of quality of
performance, retention ratio, shortage of labour force, job obligation etc. A growth of an
organization is depended on human resources management which include hire new specialized
candidate from the market with higher experience (Hattie, Hodis and Kang, 2020). But due to
high immigration restriction, company can’t assign their job to the new candidate from the other
country.
This will restrict the growth of the organization in terms of adoption of new culture,
fulfilment of job obligation, social networking, new methods of exploring the learnings,
knowledge and technology etc. In addition to this, it will also reduce management growth of the
LSST which lead to poor leadership, decreasing in retention ratio of the employees, lack of
personal growth. In addition to this, to develop any organization, it is required to have diversified
and sufficient workforce who can meet job obligations on time. This will create unique and
memorable experience for the students and employers in an organization.
Current market situation reflects on LSST employers or students
After covid-19, market recovery has moved upward direction. LSST is working on the new
concept in higher education which designed to integrate study and the practical case study of
various organization. However, HR of the company are also trying to retain their employees for
the long term by adopting different strategies. As LSST has lost high number of workforces
during the covid situation but now it is hiring new people with higher experience and great
knowledge of practical world. Due to the restriction on immigration lead to reduce the self-
motivation of the employees. People who are working in the same industry demand high salary
and high growth with new knowledge, technological updation, practical aspect of the learning
etc. Therefore, LSST has invested in technology advancement, practical learning to get back the
interest of the student and smooth operation of an organization.
Current market situation has impacted on student interest in studies and motivation of the
employer (Mohebi and et.al., 2019). Further, as marketing is changing day by day, employer is

unable to implement leadership skill and management techniques effectively to achieve its
objective. Thus, to improve the same, HR must make the decisions so that effective measures can
be taken in order to improve the business performance.
The environment of culture sector on LSST
LSST provide friendly working environment in which employer and student can improve
their performance. Moreover, HR also ensured that they committed to empower their student
with high level of knowledge and practical skills in order to face the real-world situation. In
addition to, it also provides flexible schedule in which it permitted to choose session as per the
suitable time like morning and afternoon. Moreover, HR of the quoted firm also provide training
and development programme to their employer to enhance their experience and self-growth.
Moreover, team work activity is also done to maintain long term relationship between student
and employer. As technology is changing day by day, so organization is adopting new
technology for creating excellent experience for the student to get updated with market changes.
Moreover, HR keep offering motivated work culture to the people so that it helps to
increase their level of satisfaction (Rheinberg and Engeser, 2018). Along with this, HR of the
company organize time to time grouping activity to make comfortable and friendly work place.
Further, as per the requirement of the student and employer, it is updating the course structure,
teaching method, resources, other facility such as hygienic cafe, proper parking facility, peaceful
environment in library etc. All the facilities offered by HR create unique and memorable
experience. Further, curricular and extra curricula activities are to be performed to get the overall
development of all the people (student and workforce) who are connected with LSSR. Company
also take time to time feedback from their students and employees so that quick response can be
provided with changes.
Important is the role of technology on LSST
Technology plays crucial role in increasing the quality of learning and reducing the efforts
of student and employers (Gruendl and et.al., 2018). Similarly, HR of the company also adopting
projector, videos, tech gadgets etc. to enhance the interest of the student with some practical
aspect. Technology has reduced the duplication of work and increasing the efficiency to perform
the task. HR keep using different software to monitor their student performance, projects, results
and increase the efficiency of controlling the task. Moreover, student can access their projects,
task, reports etc. from home and also arrange their study schedule as per the suitable time. So

that this will manage all the thing as per the interest of student which automatically increases the
productivity and research. Moreover, student can get connected with the real world with the help
of advance technology.
It will also increase the knowledge and information by engaging with the real-world
problems and management practices. Moreover, HR of LSST also ensure that it provide free Wi-
Fi classroom for the students so that it helps to access all the information on the finger tips.
Higher use of technology can take the business to the top or get is down. Due to the expansion of
technology user can enjoy their books at home and keep their secretes safe in password protected
locker. Moreover, organization provide laptops in the colleges to prepare their project and
presentation. It also provides id password to access the guest lecture whenever required in the
suitable form (which can easily access from the laptop and mobile phone).
The Covid-19 situation had an impact on Health and Safety laws on LSST
Due to covid-19 situation, it is required to maintain the social distancing form between two
persons (Hippke, 2018). Due to this reason, many people had resigned due to the health and
safety purpose. This had affected the retention ratio, fulfilment of job obligation etc. which has
caused in decrease revenue, high wastage of resources, poor management etc. Covid-19 has
made the people aware about safety and hygiene of the food and place. Moreover, it has also
made strict law of healthy and safety, so it is the duty of HR to comply with the same in order to
provide safer environment to their customers and employees. People get aware about the quality
of food and safe environment. Therefore, organization had to spend huge amount on the high
quality of food and creating clean place in an organization. As this law is also implemented in an
organization to make sure that it is safe and secure place for the student and employers.
Environmental on LSST
LSST is working in the environment where everything is changing day by day in term of
technology, taste and preference of the consumer, motivation techniques, leadership and
management performance etc. LSST has to maintain long term relationship with the
environmental factor which affect the organization performance (Hippke, 2018). The internal
environment of the company gets affected due to the less diversification of the employees and
low retention ratio, decrease job fulfilment obligation etc. That is why, employees and workforce
face the problem of lack of motivation and self-satisfaction. Moreover, poor leadership,
management practices also affect the environment badly. External environmental factor such as

political, economic, social factor affect the company’s performance. In order to survive for the
long term in the competitive market LSST need to focus on their internal and external factor
which covered in the environmental sector.
The availability of suppliers on LSST
Organization has easy access of supplier because their large number of supplier available
in the market which are directivity connected with the LSST. Due to the high range of supplier
organization can easily get goods and services at the nominal price which will put an impact on
admission fees of the students. In the education industry their high competition to get product at
standard amount.
The variety of services on LSST
As LSST is offering different subjects such as business, computing and IT, health and
management. In the business subjects there are lot's of courses or degree available such as BA
honours in business and management, BA (honour) in business studies (top-up) etc. In addition
to this, all the courses have different fee’s structure. Under each of the subject’s, LSST offers
variety of courses for 2 to 4 years. Moreover, organization also provides services of parking
facility, cafe, library and student support etc. Moreover, updated technology, safe locker facility
and high quality of food is being provided by the LSST (Tyson and et.al., 2020). In addition to
this, organization also provides flexible schedule timing, easy access to internet etc. to students.
So that as per their own suitable time, student can access the classes. Moreover, it also provides
laptop facility to their student to make their research, increase their knowledge and
understanding.
LSST facing severe management issues
LSST is facing the issue of human resources management (HRM) in which HR are unable
to retain for the long term in organization. Covid-19 has affected human resources department
badly (Trilling, Bellm and Malhotra, 2018). This will lead to low retention ratio, low job
obligations to fulfil, decrease the self-motivation etc. Management takes all the decision on the
basis of student satisfaction but does not give more emphasis on the employee’s motivation and
improvement in their knowledge and skill. In addition to this, organization also facing the issue
which is related to the optimum utilization of resources, course management, communication and
collaboration, student monitoring, class room management strategies. LSST is adopting

technological changes but due to the poor management by HR, it reduces the productivity,
performance and position in the competitive market. Further, due to the lack of diversification
organization is unable to adopt or analyse the changes in management and leadership techniques.
LSST motivate their employers
LSST motivates their employees by using financial and non-financial incentive. Under the
financial incentive, organization provide salary or bonus, monetary incentive to their employers
so that the basic need of can be fulfilled. Moreover, in the non-financial incentive includes

perform best. Moreover, as per the performance of the employers, organization give reward in
terms of bonus, incentive, respect, recognition, technological safety and security (Mrakovčić,
2021). Moreover, non-monetary benefit also provides on the basis of their permanence and next
target achievement. Among all staff, those employers who has performed well in teaching
(measure by higher result of student) then HR conduct an event to celebrate it. Moreover, it also
provides reward to the students by getting their photo on front page of magazine, giving prize
etc.
LSST keep their employers or techniques to attract new employers
LSST had low retention ratio due to the external factor, low quality of training and
development programme, lack of self-satisfaction. But currently. In order to improve the same,
there is a need to focus upon Training and development session by HR so that productivity of
personnel improved. As every person want to grow in the life, HR of company also providing
high pay, efficient training and development program, adopting different motivation techniques
to increase the retention ratio (Cowperthwaite and et.al., 2019). In addition to this, it adopts the
new techniques to attract the new employer who has long years of experience to contribute in
their organization. Moreover, HR of LSST coordinate with marketing department in order to
provide advertisement in the newspaper about the job requirement, also use interview to select
