Answer Sheet
Task 1
Please type your answer below
Understand learning theories and learning styles:
They use one of the four one of the four distinct styles devised by Honey & Mumford. The style
which they use is activist because they believe in doing things practically and through gaining
experiences the employee can achieve the aims and objective of the organization. When the
employees are new at work they can be given training and development session as well as the
new employees can also learn from the senior employee. This style helps to maintain the training
of the employees and also help them to get a practical and live world experience of what they
are trying to learn. If any mistake happens in work place they are under the provision of guidance
of the senior staffs that help them to correct and improve. The new employees are on the basis
of their educational qualification and skills, and they are divided into teams so that they can work
in team more effectively and efficiently.
1.1
Learning styles followed in TEXAS:
The Texas follows Kolb’s learning styles and it’s the process that represents a learning cycle or
spiral where the learner 'touches all the bases', ie., Diverging, Assimilating, Converging ,
Accommodating. The diverging is when the people thinks form different perspective. The people
refer to watch first and do it later which tends to gather information and solving the problem by
using creative mind. The converging is when the people try to solve the problem by finding
practical solution. The people converging learning styles are more into technical task rather than
the social or interpersonal issues. The assimilating is when the people approach’s the logic. The
ideas and the concept are more important than the people. People with this style are more
attracted to logically theories than approaches based on practical value. Accommodating is when
people have belief on their instinct rather than logic. The texas follows diverging because they
like to think form the different ways for that they could be more innovative and create for their
organization to achieve the profit and satisfy the customer by giving them best customer services.
These programs are very helpful to the employees for increasing the skills and to be expertise in
the skills which they want to be in. the Texas is a very adaptive organization as they change in
the business environment. They were developing programs such as the training program which
will help the existing as well as the new employees.
PEARSON BTEC_ Semester 03_Unit No. 23_Human Resource Development _Sep 2016_Cromwell UK AJMAN 7
helps to listen with an open mind. The Activists tend to do too much itself as they are ready to
take the risk.
Explain the role of the learning curve and the importance of transferring
learning to the workplace
The learning curve can be described as a graph that shows learning. When a person says she/he
is on a steep learning curve this means that they are trying to acquire a lot of knowledge in a
short period of time. It can measure an employee’s ability to successfully accomplish a giving
task to the employees.
Every learning style has its own objective and it can be achieve only if it’s transferred to the
workplace.
The KFC works active environment where changes happen rapidly. And when the changes occur
the learning gets executed because the employees can gain experiences which will help the
employees to use it in their partial life. So the KFC gives goal to the staff member so that they
could achieve it effectively and efficiently. The learning helps the KFC staff to improve the food
processing as well as maintenance and cleanliness as well as building the relationship with
customer etc. the KFC can keep checking the previous year improvement and this year’s
improvement through which the KFC keep on upgrading themselves. This is when the learning
curve comes in handy. The role of the learning curve in KFC’s is as follows:
Role of learning of curves represent the increase or decrease of learning in respect to experience
as well as it’s a good tool evaluating the impact of the learning or training program as it keeps a
record.
Estimating labor requirement: For undertaking a project, KFC’s should use the learning
curve from which the labor requirements for that project are indirect. It also helps to
estimate staffing plans, training requirements and develop productions.
1.2
Financial Planning: Learning curve is used in financial planning as it helps in approximating
the cash needed project, helps to compare the price and the cost. In the starting of the
project they will look after the average cost that would be paid to the employees and later
the other resource. This information will help to KFC to arrange the funds for the phases
in the project.
Transfer learning:
It refers to transferring newly learned information and skills from a learning setting to using it in
a particular activity at work. These Techniques are learnt during training. If a worker transfers
learning effectively, the employer will know whether it is a positive or negative transfer.
Skills and techniques are learnt by workers and problem solving becomes much simpler with
effective learning transfer. However, the learner must understand what they are learning in the
program in order to promote the learning process.
Learning cure helps find gaps to improve employees in the skills that they are lacking.
Its importance: knowledge about values, expectations and career planning support is shared with
employees. It is an important tool for the employees to increase leadership qualities and
opportunities. KFC’s organizes workshops on different subjects to develop employee’s skills and
knowledge. When employees see their progress, they are encouraged to increase and work on
their capabilities.
All kind of organization arranges training session for the employees because they can use the
time energy and fund to have the personal training. So it’s highly expected form the learner that
they can perform as well as the learner should transfer their learning to the workplace.
PEARSON BTEC_ Semester 03_Unit No. 23_Human Resource Development _Sep 2016_Cromwell UK AJMAN 8
The following shows the importance of transferring learning at KFC:
Proper utilization of money: the training and development session also requires funds so
if the learner is not able to transfer their learning in the work place then the money which
they have invested will go in waste. Such as making of proper food.
It not only helps the staffs to meet their current practices but also help them achieve
their future requirements.
Facing and overcoming the challenges: the employees should face practical problem. And
sometimes the employee may face the challenges in which the employees can’t take
decision. The learning session contains such studies.
It helps the staff to work efficiently and complete their tasks effectively on time.
It helps KFC so get profit through which they can achieve return on investment.
The learning events for the KFC’s are the communication with the team members as well as the
customers.
As much I know the communication is the between the employees and the trainer is the most
important because the employee might feel shy to express their views and opinion on the
particular topic. As well as they also sometimes say that they understood but they dint
understand. And also they agree to all the rules and regulation. Sometimes there are also some
situations where few of the employees voice their suggestions to the trainer. The reason why I
have decided to conduct a learning event for all the trainers and the staff members in order to
1.3
explain them the effectiveness of a good communication between them which will be more
beneficial for them as well as their organization. And for developing better communication with
customer. Trainers and the employees are indirectly interaction with the customers. As well as it
is necessary that they are present themselves well have a quite warm pleasant welcoming, so
that the customers feel the desire to come again not just for food but also with the atmosphere
they have with the organization. but sometimes not all the customer are the customer are the
same like for example their such types of customer who are quite shy in asking the if the food or
the other offer is available or not. So in such case the employees working over there must make
the customer feel a friendly and comfortable environment so that the customer could ask question
related to the services or choose the food they want. Though sometimes not all the employees
has the skill, so in order to gain this skill, I have conducted this session for the employee. I will
try my best to design the program well and the main objective is to maintain charity and have a
Impact on the performance.

Image 1: about the notice event
The learning event notice has been sent in relation to the learning style. The learning style used
at diverging, which means that the staff learns by doing and as well as by gaining experiences.

The top level management is responsible that typically are known as the founder of the
organization.
The middle level management responsible is for executing organizational plans and strategy
which is implied within the company's policies. These managers act at and between top-level
management and low-level management.
The lower level management they focus on controlling and directing. They help as role models
for the employees they supervise.
The following shows the levels of management and how the employees are divided:
These are some of the training needs which are given to staffs member at various levels in KFC.
The role of the top level management includes the restaurant managers of KFC so that he can
guide them the directions for strategic development of KFC. (CEO of the company) They play an
important role and are taken into consideration. For which they need training that helps to
establish have predictions and setting the budgets for the organization which will help to purchase
the item, giving away the salary to employees and purchase of food items various thinks. The
training needs of the top level management at KFC are as follows:
Business Leadership Program: the leadership programs are the CEO of the company they
and are for the higher executive to prepare for the challenges which are coming up in the
market. The top level management does not just lead their subordinates; they lead the
entire organization towards achieving success. For this, the top level management needs
leadership programs different from that of their colleagues. It involves :
PEARSON BTEC_ Semester 03_Unit No. 23_Human Resource Development _Sep 2016_Cromwell UK AJMAN 11
Right environment
A fresh perspective
Practical skills and tool
Noble inspiration.
Management Training Programs: The training is given to all the levels of management;
though the content of the training varies. For top level management, the training
involves risk management, identifying the business opportunities, getting the first
mover advantage, forecasting etc.
The middle level management includes those employees who are below the top level
management or the employees who work under them such as the assistant manager, area
manager and shift manager, who convert the directions for short term objectives as given in the
diagram. The key problem area, identifications of practical helps and hinders etc. does required
in for their training. The training which is needed for the employees of middle level management
at KFC is as follows:
Change Management Course: the training creates stability with the help of right tools,
in order to manage changes in the organization. The training provides skills to meet
every day challenges. The active business environment is the reason for the
organization change. Moving beyond the change and to change is the main motive of
the training
Leadership Programs: the program involves middle level employees’ for the leadership
development.
1. Ensuring that the employees will have all the core skills of effective
management and leadership
PEARSON BTEC_ Semester 03_Unit No. 23_Human Resource Development _Sep 2016_Cromwell UK AJMAN 12
2. Understanding what drives individual behavior and how to motivate and reward
excellence
3. Truly understanding the culture of organization
4. Having a framework for implementing successful change programs.
The lower level management, includes the host, crew trainers and staff members at KFC, they
are responsible for carrying out the day-today activities of KFC. These include having good
customer interaction, following the general standards etc. the learning will to increase the
communication skills and also they skills how to attract customer. The training which is needed
for the lower level employees at is as follows:
Skills Development Training: there are some skills which are required to be learned in
order to carry out the task effectively. And for those skills, training is undertaken. Hence
it helps the lower level employees to increase their ability and keep updating their skills
and knowledge.
Management Training Programs: The lower level employees are given management
training regarding activities capabilities that helps them to gain new ideas, create
innovative ideas and various strategies to achieve the aims and objectives of the
employee.
COMPARISON:
The training needs of the three levels of management are almost similar. As the content of the
training is very different. As leadership program for top level only focuses on leading the entire
organization towards achieving the goals as well as its aims and objectives and also to have a
creative mind so that they can have a new diversification of the product in the same company.
Though, the middle level leadership program focuses on leading only their team and to handle
the problem which is going on, the employees work under the top level management. Therefore,
in other words, the aim and objectives to achieve is set by the top level management, the
path to reach the aims and objectives effectively and efficiently is set by the middle level
management and the management training program is almost except the content.

The survey is taken for the allergies which are going on due to various reasons amongst customer.
As well as the survey gives how to handle the allergies which are going on but most of the
employee member are confused on the mayonnaise, garlic sauces, over fried chicken, peanut
butter, and wheat and other dairy products. The employee member has a knowledgeable because
of the survey which will help to achieve the aim and objective of the organization. The employee
member weren’t aware of any kind of allergy which the customers were going through. The
employee member can take precaution to take care of the customer health and also provide them
proper and good kind of food.
Review the success of the evaluation methods used.
The method which I have chosen is questionnaire method through which the employee member
shall get feedback and as well as they will try to improve in the food which they are providing
customers can be satisfying. They help in attaining both quantitative as well as qualitative data.
It also is a cost-effective compared to other evaluation techniques. As well as it also helps in the
practical and getting a faster results. A questionnaire doesn’t require the use of any kind of
scientific analysis because it depends on the survey and the feedback which is there In the survey.
Recently a incident happen in the KFC, my friend Alisha and his 5 year son Joel went to have a
meal or kind of, to grab some food. The women Alisha wasn’t aware that his son has a allergy to
3.3 peanut butter or the things which are relating to employees. So later when the son started eating
the burger, he started coughing as well as vomiting because the peanut butter it wasn’t suitable
for the Joel’s body because the burger contented peanut butter. So the manager came and was
trying to make the lady came and as well as was handling the boy and the crowd the manager
opened the door so that he could breath. The manager told to one of the employee that to go the
pharmacy and by the medicine relating to the allergy. The employee knew the name of the
medicine because he has attended the training event, where he was trained about allergy about
the particular allergy. The employee went to the employee. There was a demonstration of
injecting epinephrine to the customer who has the allergic reaction. The employee came with an
epinephrine auto-injector, whereby he can inject it to the customer after ensuring that the
reaction was due to food allergy.
And the KFC always keep the medicine related to the allergy which the customer might be going
through. They have a safety kit through which they have all types of medicines in such cases.
PEARSON BTEC_ Semester 03_Unit No. 23_Human Resource Development _Sep 2016_Cromwell UK AJMAN 21
