Activity 1: Increase learner engagement
For conducting any activity in the organization, it is necessary to have the proper engagement of
every person involved in the activity. Every activity is conducted to accomplish particular
objectives. As same in the organization, there are various departments and every department
have different objectives. So at the time of conducting such types of activities, it is necessary that
person should engage in that activity, without proper engagement it is impossible to accomplish
the objectives. For developing proper engagement, the learner should provide proper training in
relation to understand the tasks being done in the organization (Whelan, 2016). For increasing
the engagement of learner the organization should develop and implement effective strategies to
enhance the learner engagement such are:
 Examine the needs and skills of the learners: It is necessary to identify and evaluate
the needs and skills of the learners, through which organization can enhance their
efficiency through learning and development programmers.
 Use personalization and interactivity methods: The strategy which can implement to
identify skills of learners by developing better communication with them and by
interacting them.
Apart from all these strategies, the organizational managers should implement Bloom’s
Taxonomy which is basically used to classify educational learning objectives into different
levels of complexity. Bloom’s taxonomy is playing an essential role in enhancing the
engagement of learners. Along with, this approach helps in identifying learning objectives at 6
different levels through the lowest level to the upper level. This reduces the complexities issues
within the organization and provides better learning and development to the learners.
The approach which can be implemented by the organization to increase engagement of learner
by applying humbler’s essential ingredients. This approach helps in evaluating essential
concepts which can be applied for better engagement of learners as per their skills and needs.
With the help of these essentials, the organization can increase learner engagement at the
workplace of the organization which leads to the advancement of the organization (Whelan,
2016).

Activity 3: Thompson practice
Thompson practice is playing an essential role whether in group activities or in the context of the
organization. The main motive of every organization is to develop organizational values, develop
effective theories and implement certain strategies to enhance the performance of employees in
the organization. Thompson practice states that an organization can enhance its performance by
analyzing the skills and abilities of the employees. In such a way at the time of conducting the
activities, every group member should have basic knowledge regarding performing every task of
activity. It is the duty of team leader to analyze the performance of employees through which
proper training can be provided through learning and development programs. Proper learning
and development enhance the engagement of the employees in the activity at the time of
performing tasks. For developing proper engagement, the learner should provide proper training
in relation to understand the tasks being done in the organization (Leberman, & McDonald,
2016). In these ways, Thompson practice suggests to develop engagement and enhance
organizational value and culture.
