Introduction

Developing a workplace learning plan is an essential part of the senior management of a company. The process of increasing the level of production mainly depends on the development of the workplace learning environment. That is the reason why many ways are available in order to develop the learning environment of a company. They are going to be discussed in this report briefly. The ways and methods are collected from many scholars and experts who presented different types of methods so that the audiences would be able to understand the development.

Main Discussion

As it is said above that it is one of the most essential parts of the top-level management of the company so many scholars and experts presented many techniques to develop the learning environment. Here, the main objective of those plans is to develop the performance of the employees. They are discussed below.

Developing the goal

First of all, the senior management or the human resource department of the company needs to identify the problems because without identifying the limitations, the goal can not be set out (Singh & Singh, 2021). The development of a learning environment can achieve one as well as various kinds of goals for the company. In this case, all kinds of goals may not be necessary for the company. The company needs specific developments to be achieved. That is the reason the goals of the company should be fixed. For example, the company may need to enhance the current capabilities of the staff and employees of the company. The development of the current role can enhance the career of the employees. It helps the company to use those plans for the future. By identifying the mission along with the vision, the company can develop their learning goals. Developing the value system can also help to develop the goals.

Conducting various assessment

In order to set out the goals, the human resource department can assess various kinds of activities. So the assessment is another essential part of developing the learning environment. This is the stage where the human resource department would be able to know which area of learning should be included or not. Various kinds of strengths along with weaknesses come out in this stage. According to those strengths and weaknesses, the human resource department can develop the environment of the workplace. It ensures that the strengths are used properly. On the other hand, the weaknesses can be converted to strengths so that the company would get the benefit from those strengths for the next five to six years (Zhao et al., 2018). If the human resource department found that the staff and employees need to develop their current skills then a skill development program can be conducted. If the staff and employees need new skills then the human resource department can arrange new skill development programs to improve their expertise. For example, the human resource department needs to know what competencies they need to counter. How current competencies are going to be affected to the future work is also needed to know and many more. All the answers to those questions can be found in the assessment. In order to do that, the human resource department can conduct different types of individual assessments. Besides, the human resource department can conduct group assessments also.

Determining the styles

Determining the styles can help the human resource department to develop the learning environment of the workplace. Different types of styles and patterns are available in the market to counter the competitor companies. All the styles may not be suited for the company in recent times. Some of them are for short term uses and some of them are used for a long term vision (Sareen, 2019). Not only that but some of them are very expensive and some of them can be done with a small number of resources. However, all the learning styles may not be suitable for their complexities. That is the reason the human resource department needs to consider the styles and patterns while developing the learning environment of the workplace. The main purpose of a training program is to develop the knowledge of the employees so that the staff and employees would be able to be well-equipped while performing the job. The human resource department can select various kinds of rural learning styles for those who come from rural areas in order to develop the environment of the workplace. Besides, the traditional styles can also be selected to improve the environment. Face to face conversation, using various PowerPoint presentations can develop the environment. Besides, various graphics, charts, bar graphs and many more can also be used to develop the performance of a group.

Monitoring the activities

One of the most significant parts of developing the learning environment is monitoring the activities. The human resource department needs to monitor the activities regularly so that all the activities are performed effectively. It helps the human resource department to know that all the steps are performing properly to support the goal of the company (Chinyamurindi & Tsvangirai, 2019). In order to do that, the human resource department can deliver various kinds of books, company-related magazines, journals and many more. It increases the confidence level of the staff and employees of the company and creates a positive vibe in the workplace. Not only that but if there are any recent mistakes then it would be solved quickly by conducting close monitoring to ensure the bigger objectives.

Conclusion

In conclusion, it can be said that the development of the employees is one of the most crucial steps for the senior management of a company. In order to do that, first of all, the learning environment needs to be developed and for that, various kinds of methods and processes are available in the market. All of them have many advantages along with a few disadvantages. They are discussed here briefly so that the audience would be able to understand the significance of developing the learning environment into a company. Finally, it can be said that, without developing the learning environment, the company would not be able to increase its production level. That is the reason it is very essential.
