person starts self learning once he is in a state where he do not have to worry about anything.
This kind of activities are very helpful in order to encourage voluntary and self evaluated

These competency help the person in doing a certain task more efficiently than others. The

manager is tasked with the development of employee competencies. Competency movement was
the movement where the companies and governments started focusing on the development of
human resource (Daley, 2012). This moment led to changes in the organisational working and
improvement in the working environment for human resource.
Nowadays the organisations focus on the human resource development as to improve
their competencies. This helps them in increasing the total output and effectiveness. HR manager

environment which reduced with competency movement.

organisations.

4.3 Modern training methods in order to introduced by United Kingdom government:
The United kingdom government has made different laws as to regulate the human
resource development in the country. These initiatives have helped the UK in preparing its
workforce for the future opportunities and threats. The program developed by the government

have one aim and that is to instil the quality of life long learning (Gordon, 2014). This will help
the workforce in developing new abilities by self learning.
United Kingdom government has enacted various organisations as to boost the human
resource development in the country. These organisation have standardised set of rules and
regulation which help them in developing various programs for training and development. Also
these organisations act as the eye and ear of the government and keep on monitoring and
measuring various organisations human resource conditions. These organisations and funds are:
 The learning and Skills Council(LSC)
 The Connexions Services
 Investors in people(national standard developed with aim of consistent policy framework)
 Union Learning fund( Provides funding for trade unions and other employee programs)
 Work and Pension agency
 Health Department
These organisations aim to standardise the whole human resource development in the
country (Gruman, and Saks, 2011). These agencies help in creating a positive work environment
for the human resource in the industries. There are several benefits of these organisations for Sun
court Ltd:

 They provide counselling in developing business plan.
 Helps in establishing effective workforce
 Assist in developing human resource department

But in recent years the UK government has cut funds from the Human resource
development department. This has led to condition where different agencies are slashing their
support to various sectors. Sun court too has faced similar cuts, its 55% of HR funding has been
slashed down by 20%. This step has positive and negative side. As the organisation is now
developing its own Human resource department which will look after the need of training the
staff as per the requirements. Also they are looking for expansion so this move is going to end
their dependency on the government and its agencies (Guest, 2011). The negative side is that the

organisation will have to bear extra financial burden. They are already facing stiff competition
but this will add additional burden on them.
