which helps him in developing his own ability and skills like Individual who is working in

talks about what you learn to grow in organization like how to work with professionalism, how
to behave in an organization culture and this all things come under organization learning.(Aithal.,
2015) This both learning are linked to each other as they can only come if they have both
learning inside them

Continuous learning is essential for every individual otherwise no growth will be there.
When a person wants to learn something new every day then they never feel like there is nothing
to do, because when person stop learning he started feeling like there is nothing new which make
them feel motivated. Continuous learning is a way to motivation. For example, if an individual is
working in Hightown Housing Association and he is working from last 2 years and there is no
learning till now, he is only doing work that much which he is assigned and nothing more from
his side. This shows he is not interested in learning and this thing will make his life constant,
which make his growth zero..
