in the context of globalization.

CHAPTER 04
CONCLUSION
Professional competence describes the state-of-the-art, subject knowledge, expertise and skill
relevant for performing excellently within a specific functional department. This competence
insures that technical knowledge / working skills in both present and used a firm for the
welfare of its stakeholders. To develop this competence regular learning and development is
required.
The study based on the learning & development is an important part to evaluate, it
provides the feedback to implement future strategies and help the employer at the level of
individual performance and in the strategy formulation for learning and development.
objectives of skills matching and easing adjustment take a short- to medium-term labour
market perspective in responding to ongoing technological and market changes. The first
objective requires policies and institutions to better forecast and match the provision of skills
with labour market needs, as well as to make employment services, career services and
training services more broadly available
The skills development on making it easier for workers and enterprises to move from
declining or low-productivity activities and sectors into growing and higher-productivity
activities and sectors, and to capitalize on new technologies. Rescaling, skills upgrading and
lifelong learning help workers to maintain their employability and help enterprises to adjust
and remain competitive. This should be combined with active labour market policies to support
the transition to new employment. Workers should not withstand the worst of the adjustment
cost, and effective social security provisions or unemployment insurance as well as career
guidance, training and effective employment services, are important components of the social
contract to mitigate the impact.
Therefore, learning initiatives and programs have become a priority for human
resources (commonly believe as investment on Human Capital). As business markets change
due to an increase in technology initiatives, companies need to spend more time and money on
learning needs of employees. In today’s business environment employee learning &
development plays a critical role in corporate success and organizations are investing more in
their employees learning & development needs.
Extended Essay - Report 34
It is apparent to suggest the followings to the Top Management after study conducted in
BCE.
Ensure that employee learning contributes to competitive strategies of the firm; the different
level of employees needs different levels of learning skills to improve their individual work
quality. The management must commit itself to allocate major resources and adequate time to
improve their employees’ learning skills & personal development. Skills matching and easing
adjustment take a short- to medium-term labour market perspective in responding to ongoing
technological and market changes. The first objective requires policies and institutions to better
forecast and match the provision of skills with labour market needs, as well as to make
employment services, career services and training services more broadly available.
Ensure that a comprehensive and systematic approach to training exist, continues assessment
is required to rate the employee skills and progression in their skills development. This is much
needed to give them promotion, professional achievement etc.
As the private sector companies are gaining ground and becoming more competitive due to
changed world economy, the employees always kept on their toes. It is like either you work
hard and show your performance or perish for not taking care of your professional growth. The
ability to use a language efficiently is very much required to remain employable. Ensure to
provide some language skills, specially English language among the low-level employees of
the organization to keep the standard of communication level. It is the ability to remain
employable because of the relevant skills one possesses. Communication skills are very much
essential for one’s professional growth. It is better to provide the English Language skills for
the employees especially who are in the low level. This will give the organization most
commanding front line workers.
To upgrade the skills of employees, the training is much needed during the considerable
interval. This will give employees with a outline idea about the program and personal
knowledge increasing as well. The relationship between skills development, productivity,
employment growth and development is complex. For skills development policies to be
effective, in consultation with the social partners, must build policy coherence by linking
education, research and skills development to labour markets, social policy, technology, public
services delivery, trade, investment and macroeconomic policies.
