competition point of view.
 This type of training mainly involve for
achieving higher goals and there by

Analyse the need for continuous learning and professional development
For maintaining continuous growth and development of an organisation, every company
work on their employee for attaining achievable goals that reflects company's image in the
market place. So, therefore continuous training should be conduct for increase in the proficiency
of employees, and they also in contact with learning which help in improvising. If a person is
experienced and expert in their particular work, and they have developed skills, so they also do
that in enhancement in the positioning for gaining status in the organization this basically comes
under in continuous professional development .
Once the employee reach at its peak in their work profile which means that employee has
enough knowledge than they are able to mare in touch with the seniors, this is totally depend on
the performance of particular employee (Fisher and et.al., 2021). The employee which is
experienced have enough knowledge on the area where training of developing skills is required
and by what criteria then can developed.
Impact of continuous learning and professional development.

Bodur, 2019)

 When there is considerable amount of output can be seen in the company that means
there is chance of diverse of business this also increase the profitability.
Apply learning cycle theories to critically analyse the significance of implementing continuous
professional development.
There are many types of learning cycle theories for managing continuous professional
development in which a Kolb's cycle theory is implemented for the development of the
organization. This majorly helps them to understand right path by which they do well in their
particular profile. There are four steps in the theory:
Concrete Experience- this involves an employee which have no past knowledge of particular
and the learn the process and grasp the skills and ability where they lack. Learning of new
process may be by the practical or theoretical.
Reflective Observation- After concrete experience that this step is involve in which an
individual think and observe the project and raise a doubt on that. In this stage discussion of
topic related takes place so by that communication is essential in terms of interaction and
vocabulary play an important role in discussion. An individual also identify the learner thinking
and ability by their questioning.
Abstract Conceptualization- after discussion and get effective result from the event, the learner
comes at the end of understanding and concluded that where they stand after the learning session.
They also place themselves in the position of their past and compare it with the present in terms
of understanding of particular topic (Chiu, S. K., 2019.). At this stage of learning, existing
employee work on execute a better ideology by which effective and productive work can be
seen.
Active experimentation- This is basically a testing stage where an individual is been tested on
particular projects. Now they are capable for doing task, analyses and make plan according to
their knowledge. At this stage a learner can perform their work in appropriate manner with better
skills and technicals that reflect their analysing power.
Once the learner is entered according to theory, it should be completely done by which
effective result may be seen in the present or future project. And if one step is missed by the
individual then it will difficult to give output. All steps are essential and have unique quality by
which a person grow in their profession and for acquiring knowledge on new concept because

each of one is dependent on other if the learner want to skip one of them then this may creates a
negative impact on the growth of individual and organization
Activity 3:
Demonstrating an understanding of how HPW contributes in employee engagement as well as in
competitive advantage of an organizational situation:
High performance work systems are obviously designed to improve and enhance the
work culture and the effectiveness of the constituents of an organization. In this scenario, it is
being depicted that how organizations should adopt various ways to rapidly implement changes
that may positively impact them in the global environment (Salas. Reyes. and McDaniel. 2018).
That is why it is very important for the organizations to work towards the enhancement of
workforces that will perpetually meet the needs of an organizational context. It is the major duty
of HR department to get concerned over the fact that how important it is to identify the
significance of HPW initiated programmes in an organization to achieve the overall business
goals and objectives.
Job engagement:
The process of job engagement is defined as the individual’s active participation in an
organization that is important for their own development to survive in the long run. This allows
an organization to significantly increase its relations with the employees and others. For this, it is
essential to motivate and stimulate employees to contribute in the programmes that will require
the adoption of HPW systems.
Organizational Identification:
Identification in the terms of describing which culture and structure should be opted in
the sense of which the formal and informal relations are to be maintained. The aspects may
include the psychological needs and productive environment to determine the growth rates in

order to influence the customer centric services provided by them. In this way, the employees
can raise their voice and their opinions can be heard (Oakman. and et.al., 2020).
In relation with the chosen organizational context, that can be the environmental analysis,
the role of HPW programmes can effectively make a difference in the overall activities of the
organization. And the above two mentioned points of job engagement and organizational
identifications can increase the employee engagement to compete in the global market with the
view of attaining the desired competitive position.
Analysing the benefits of applying HPW with justifications to a specific organisational situation:
Various benefits of HPW systems in an organization can be availed with the
enhancement of better aptitude and attitude of the employees. Self-assumption and self-
confidence can be easily built among the employees so that they can take responsibility of the
tasks assigned to them. With the help of HPW programmes, it is also very possible in an
organizational situation to deals with the innovative and new technologies so that any uncertainty
discovered can be eradicated. By this eradication, it becomes positive and inside out for the
employees and it results in positive engagement by them in achieving the overall business
objectives and goals. For this, there is a requirement of strong and unique strategic directions that
helps in competing with the competitors of the company in order to gain maximum advantage
from the analysis of business environment. The uniqueness and creativity can furthermore assist
the business firms to evaluate their growth rates with an increasing and whooping efficiency that
can lead to a better expertise held in the procedure. Moreover, to positively handle the situation
of external environment, there has to be the presence of HPW programmes that can initiate the
working of profitability and optimisation of advanced technologies.

Activity 4:
Different approaches to performance management:
There have been many approaches to performance management in the light of HPW
programmes that does not include how to manage the success rates of an organization, but also to
collaborate different approaches and methods that support HPW in relation to the behaviours of
employees. To measure the performance of employees and the other relations as well, it is
important to opt for such KPI’s that can easily relate to the performances of people in light to the
HPW highlights of an employee. And it is as understood that the whole process is based on the
team work and group activities, the identified and determined goals and objectives of the
company can be achieved if all the approaches are in relation to the theories of performance
management such as human related theories that focus on factors of human behaviour and
psychologies connected (Lancellotti. and et.al., 2019). It has to be kept in mind while evaluating
the results that the individual as well as the common interests should be managed properly
without any misunderstandings in the process.
Evaluating different approaches in supporting high performance culture and commitment:
There are many approaches to support the high culture, commitment of employees and
performances to achieve the overall organizational objectives. This can be done through the
mediums of communication values and developing the desired company culture. In order to
evaluate and achieve the desired competitive advantage, it is highly acceptable with the fact that
the employees of an organization must be encouraged to an open structure where all the opinions
and creativity matter. There has to be maintained the culture and tradition of investing in the
organizational innovating and technical equipment that can be used to empower the employees
and the other constituents of the organization. Further, an open or simple meetings can be
organized to promote the deliverability of control of the activities and tasks assigned and the
