The bank has got a huge employees pool. In the UK about 50000 people are currently employed. Development of skills of employees through training is an important function of human resources management. Bank allocates a huge amount of its budget for developing human resources.

They regularly identify the training needs of employees and accordingly provide training to concerned employees individually, departmentally and in group. They have provisions for both on the job and off the job trainings. They have a rigorous recruitment policy as they want the employees should work for long term not for short term. Therefore, training and development of employees and their performance at the work place are closely monitored as these are evaluated during promotion.

Contribution of learning styles and theories

Progress of the training program documentation

            The process of the evaluation as this will help in assessing the program that is qualitative (Sungand Choi 2014). The three methods is essential in identifying the gap at different levels of the event of training.

• Trainee/Trainer feedback will help in understanding the event requirements at the end. The feedback is essential in nature as this will help the managers in identifying the impact on the related parties (Sankey and Machin 2014)
• Observation is essential as this helps in observing the different participation as well as the activities and their effects of the both external as well as internal factors on the event of the training. This will help in showing the positive as well as negative aspects of the event and the different steps that are necessary to be taken by them (Nguyen et al. 2014).
• The comments of customers are essential in nature as this will help in analyzing the requirements of the change that are needed in making the system more effective in nature.

Documents that are used for evaluation are:

• Improvement in the quality is essential as this will help in analyzing the quality of the product is assessed. This will help in analyzing the improvements required for the providing proper service to the customers (Noe et al. 2014).
• Proper service to the customers is essential in nature as well as this will help in understanding the proper requirements of the improvements that are required for making the customers satisfied with different kinds of services. This will help in gaining proper evaluation for the entire production (McCleskey 2014).

The productivity is essential in the workplace as the change in the entire productivity can be measured properly in the entire process of the evaluation (Sungand Choi 2014).
• Change in the sales is essential in nature as this will help in changing the positive or negative through the proper program of training as this will help in identifying the effect of the program of the training (Reynolds 2017).

   b.  The event of the training is essential and effective in nature with proper as well as active participation of the employees with enthusiasm. In the first event, the service to the customers’ scenario was provided and there were different good as the groups provided well as realistic solutions. In the proper session management of the discussion, the management teams as well as the other participants helped in receiving more flexible as well as feasible solutions. The actual benefit was received during the proper solving of the issues and the employees found that the necessary steps in improving the service to the customers that has to be provided (Mahoney 2015).

The private companies are properly investing more in order to gain competitive advantage as well (Edwards, Sieminskiand Zeldin 2014). The companies do not want any kind of competency in the fall of performance of the employees or low productivity of the employees in the organization as well (Susomrith and Coetzer 2015). The firms need to provide proper motivation to the employees as this will help in gaining proper competitive advantage and this will help in achieving proper results as well.

The process of learning is never ending process and the qualification that is provided is to grow the confidence of the individuals as the growth in the economy can affect the growth of the entire economy as well.
