TASK 1
COVERED IN PPT
Briefing document
1.1
Professional or professionalism term drive the attention of a person toward become a
skilled candidate, whom requirement or need in a company may increase continually. It is fact
that a people professional may require, because of certain reasons (BLOODGOOD, 2022). For
example, the biggest reason behind requirement of these individuals in the workplace is to grab
existing business growth chances that may contribute to make a firm productive and competitive
for longer in the market. Along with above reason, professional individuals are required within a
company because they are able to work anywhere in term of making possible change and
accepting the same. It can be said that people professional are capable to open doors to jobs in
each sector, and also allow building excellent career, whether it related to international or nation
level in an industry, regarding which individual may take interest. Professional people play vital
role in growth of companies, whether it is large or small, as they may tend to recognize the
impact of certain factors and then make possible change accordingly, which is important for
them to do that appropriately. Their contributed toward aim achievement may in turn increase
demand or requirement of people professional.
1.2
Ethical values refer to set of actions and decisions that an individual person may take to
influence other. Each action and decision related to this term may drive people professional
attention toward achieving strategic aim and objectives. It may enable them to become a kind,

honest, self-discipline and trustworthy person, who may never take approach to conduct
unethical practice that put impact on their own and others work, negatively. I am a loyal person
and this term defines my personal values as I do not avoid other initiatives. With this personal
value, I felt capable to reach desire outcomes in term of motivating others and influencing their
performance in positive manner. Honesty is another personal value that I prefer to implement or
follow in appropriate manner, in term of providing benefits to other about their own work,
instead of taking advantages in regard the same. I have affects on my work positively and
contribute to develop excellent work relation between individual candidate. I also prefer to create
stress free and friendly environment in the workplace, which in turn provide a lot of benefits to
me as well as others. For example, it helps to increase productivity, performance and confidence
level of individuals.
1.3 & 1.5
I can conduct a lot of practices in the workplace and gain benefits of that such as
contribution in regard to key discussion that aid to assure people or workers practices are applied
or not. Face to face communication is the best approach that I prefer to utilize and take into my
consideration, because of clear and specific reason. It can grab chance to collect useful
information about practises that people applied and conducted to grow and achieve set aims.
Furthermore, I can effectively interact to engage and influence others by using several
tools and technologies such as email. It can provide more benefits to me in term of sharing
information quickly, without making delay in the context of similar process. It also aid to engage
people in the context of decision-making procedure and influence in positive manner in term of
taking their opinions as well as useful suggestions.
I might raise issues with policy formation situation that put direct impact on success,
progress and practices of individuals, in negative term. Instead of considering candidates needs, I
can conduct practice to form of strategy or policy that raise issue and create more challenges that
in turn create complications in the workplace.
2.1
Maslow's hierarchy of needs is the best example of motivational theory that in turn
provide benefits to business and employees in bulk. For example, it may encompass five
different approaches such as psychological, safety, esteem, love, and self-actualization needs. By
considering each approach and taking into concern, management may obtain benefit in term of

retaining skilled workforce and providing positive experience to them that help to allow them
feel valued, engaged and precious in the workplace. Human benefit of people at work feeling
valued, and being treated equally include, great career growth chances in fair manner, without
facing issues to grow in productive and profitable way. In term of obtaining fair treatment from
management in the work area, each candidate may feel productive, as it may boost their
confidence, morale and performance level. More than, venture human may get benefit of
working with encourage and motivate employees, among which each employee is able to stand
competitive and also permit company to do the same. It may permit candidates to grab other
employment chance that in return achieve their short, medium and long term goals, which is not
that easy to do so for anyone in this world successfully.
2.2 & 2.3
Group discussion is the best practice that an individual person put in place, because it
enables them to solve many issues in term of feedback, whether it is external or internal. This
initiative may achieve an objective such as employee engagement, problem solving or more.
Extent to which employee engage themselves in each activity in the workplace, it the better way
to evaluate the impact on current practice. It may enable person to continually concentrate on
gaining desire outcome and providing the same to all.
Problem solving initiative fulfil the motive of creating stress free environment in the
workplace that put positive impact on employees' performance. I will evaluate the impact of this
action paying specific attention to extent to engagement within company, in term of measuring
aim achievement level. It is the best way which I would consider and use, along with others.
Knowledge sharing also aid to response each form of feedback in term of providing basis
understanding to individual person that they may utilize to improve existing things such as
performance. The sales and profitability gap identification enable me to evaluate the impact of
current practice that I will conduct or put in the place, appropriately.
TASK 2
ACTIVITY 1
3.1- The context of professional development
How the role of a people professional is changing?
People professional role in the recent time is changing because of emerging needs and evolving

trends that put direct impact on their profession, as well as activities related to the same
(Herbert and et.al., 2021). When the requirement of stakeholders related to business success
may change, it may drive the attention of people professional such as HRM to make possible
modification within current activities as well. Further direction, suggestions and requirement
may change the role of human resource team as people professional. Technology advancement
is the biggest change that also modify duty of HR expert.
What impact are these alter having on my career professional development?
There are different types of changes occur within the corporate world, that put impact on my
performance and initiative that I plan to consider regarding CPD. For example, change in the
context of people professional skill requirements put positive impact on my career professional
development. It drives my attention toward setting aims and objectives to make better CPD, that
is important for me to do that. Anther change that affect my performance related to similar
concept, is related to technology. It also driven my concentration toward adding more value in
my career professional development plan as I will take action to utilize internet. I can use this
resource and gain unpredictable benefit in bulk.
What are the key characteristics of a good practice CPD
The best thing about a better practice CPD is structure approaches that it may offer to
individual person, who tend to develop or improve varied things such as skills, knowledge, etc.
It may aid to refine personal skills and also contribute to plug any understanding gaps, which
play important role in success and progress of person's (Why CPD is important for HR
Professionals, 2020). It may consider as another strategic feature of good CPD that boost
confidence and increase performance level of individuals. Along with above, the term
encompasses more features such as opens pathways that a person may grab to grow
professionally and personally (Ragupathi, 2021). With the help of good practice CPD, a person
may keep their performance on track and up to the mark to management expectations.
ACTIVITY 2
Self assessment
Carrying out a self assessment of competency against ethical practice core attributes-

For purpose of conducting self-assessment, I had utilized SWOT analysis, which drive the
attention of individuals toward determining their strengths and key competencies. By referring
to appendix 1 and 2 outcome, my competency is effective communication that provide
excellent power to me about deal with certain issues. With the help of this skill or competency I
will grab a lot of advantages in the future that also play vital role in the context of my
professional career.

Effective communication is one of my strengths that I had utilized in appropriate manner. I tend
to use this competence in the future as well, because of varied reasons such as to interact with
others, to engage employees in several activities, boost their morale and improve performance
that is essential and beneficial too, for everyone. Along with strengths, I also had some
weaknesses such as lack of knowledge about ethical terms and poor professional skills that I
want to develop and improve successfully. The overall strength and weakness in the context of
setting personal development objectives refer to professional development plan that cover in
appendix 3 and 4.
3.3- Considering how I can meet these developments objectives-
I can meet each objective in systematic and ethical manner in term of considering and using
range of learning opportunities that are accessible in the world of business. It is important to
grab each chance, which put positive impact on my performance and success criteria. I can meet
strategic objectives in term of using existing learning chances that aid to develop my confidence
and boost morale. Internet, and other resources provided me chance to reach desire outcomes,
without taking too much stress that put impact negatively on my career progress.

Example 1
I have taken responsibility for my work when the world load circumstance create a
serious environment in the workplace. During this period, I have putted some mistakes like lack
of coordination, which I have rectified while working with others. I believe that I learn the
importance of collaboration and coordination.
Example 2

Project failure is another situation when I put mistake and then take responsibility of
action. The main reason behind overall circumstance is lack of communication, which put
negative impact on desire outcomes.
2.4- Identifying at two examples that highlight my approach to working inclusively
Example 1
I had respected others opinion, while taking decision to achieve aim, and making any
change related to current management practices. This approach I had taken in regard to working
inclusively, that aid to build positive and productive working relation with others.
Example 2
Information sharing is another approach to working inclusively that I conduct to reach
expect outcomes. It also helps to build positive environment and relationship at workplace where
many candidates are working together or individually for purpose of grabbing opportunities. I
had used effective communication, interpersonal and other skills.
ACTIVITY 4

My learning and CPD put positive impact on my, team and colleagues performance in
term of increasing their productiveness and productivity as well as performance level. The

decrease my efficiency, which is not acceptable.

benefits to individual, in term of determining strengths that they have utilized to overcome each
weakness in appropriate manner. It has been concluded from above study that by taking right
decision and using useful resources, I had meet my objectives and developed understanding
