It is therefore important to manage one’s learning as it has huge impacts in one’s life. Some of the positive impacts include: Self-managed learning gives people the opportunity to come up with their own strategy in learning. For instance, I have a goal to get a distinction on my assignment, so my strategy will be to research, reference and write well my work and submit it on time to achieve my goal.

(Management and Organisation behaviour). 1.1 Explain the factors to be considered when planning the recruitment of individuals to work in Health and Social Care: De Cenzo, D.A & Robins,S.P (2002), define recruitment as ‘’the process of discovering potential candidates for actual or anticipated organizational vacancies.

Thus: The Employment Laws, The Job requirements, which are understood by carrying out a job/role analysis, the organization’s goals and strategies, to mention but a few. The Employment Laws: Health and Safety at Work Act(1974).

On the other hand, from my own experience when we do too much work, the quality of work is often reduced. So, when we set up a time to do the maximum volume of work we must always pay attention to section 1 above and continue reading the section 3 following. 3.
