Employment – Management / Leadership Focus SPO041-2 
Introduction 
The Sport Development Department of Corby Borough Council provide an 
opportunity for the community to take part in sport. There is a need to focus on 
Corby Borough Council Sport Development Department, evaluating them as a 
provider alongside the concepts and principles from management. Through applying 
the specific employment areas from coaching and fitness it is possible to evaluate 
the business provider such as their effectiveness and contribution of human resource 
management to the performance. 
What Is Management? 
In principle every organisation management of resources, containing labour, 
premises, technology, finance, materials plus alters these resources into goods or 
services that are vital for their customers as shown in Figure 1. Collin (2006); 
management is the directing or running of a business. Management by objectives is 
a way of managing a business by setting work targets for the managers and testing 
to see if they are achieved correctly and on time. (Dictionary of Economics, 2006)

Management.

Since managing the inputs type, quantity and arrangement of the resources can 
differ permitted to the requirements of respective organisations besides they might 
also contrast over period. Organisations have a need for resources and are 
responsible to supply and meet social objectives. This is because specific ones they 
are controlled in market shares which are organised to a substantial degree. 
Additionally the local government include a process mix since being an operator of 
resources, particularly land, labour, capital finance and expertise. Nevertheless in 
adding all local authorities’ outputs express political factors and offering provisions 
whenever seeing their policy sections need to follow. 
What Does It Involve? 
Recently there’s been an increase in Human Resource Management, which 
highlights the significance of individuals and their abilities which they have that helps 
to increase organisational productivity. For instance in Human Resource 
Management the concepts “commitment” to the business as well as the expansion 
in “quality” drive this has controlled senior management groups to appreciate the 
amplified significance of preparing employee’s for advancement and their long-term 
Carl Page (1008889) Page 3 Foundation Degree in Sports Coaching 
learning. 
Similarly there’s been extra credit of the essentials which balance the potentials of 
the employees with the desires of the organisation. These concepts necessitate just 
don’t simply need cautious development then again likewise a better prominence on 
employee improvement. (Hall, 1984; Nadler, 1984).The key concepts management 
take is primary a unique method towards employment management, as this will then
Employment – Management / Leadership Focus SPO041-2 
give them the competitive advantage. Hence importance of employment of loyal and 
proficient workforce, whereby there is a strategic and logical management. (Schuler 
& MacMillan, 1984) 
The Selected Business Provider and Their Purpose 
Corby Borough Council Sports Development Strategy includes their Mission 
Statement: “Working together for the future to improve the Quality of life for the 
people of the Borough”. (Appendix 1.) The Mission Statement: “Corby Borough 
Council working in partnership with other agencies and the local community will work 
towards building a stronger, healthier and more active community”. (Appendix 1.) 
Therefore the council’s uses business values which present various chances for 
individuals to be involved in local recreation. Along with supporting of latest services 
and activity sessions; because each resident has a privilege to go to nearby place for 
safe recreation. Since I believe the Sports Development department objectives are 
presenting better entry and improved chances in physical activity and sport to the 
complete community. 
The Environment of Which the Local Government Operates 
Though I firmly believe the participants must be at the heart of the development; 
since they are the people who be using the products and service being provided by 
the council. As the opportunities being created by the Sport Development 
Department are the ones who are required to sustain and the co-ordination of 
Carl Page (1008889) Page 4 Foundation Degree in Sports Coaching
Employment – Management / Leadership Focus SPO041-2 
innovative projects to manage peoples satisfaction levels. Consequently the local 
authority has to be sufficiently adaptable to reach them. PESTLE analysis is a useful 
tool which is able to support businesses reaching policies via assisting them to 
recognise the external environment in which they run presently and will work in the 
time ahead. (Appendix 3.) 
Evaluating Corby Borough Council Sport Development against Management 
Carl Page (1008889) Page 5 Foundation Degree in Sports Coaching 
Principals 
Research has shown an improvement in quality management and a commitment of 
further improvement. Notable improvements include a change to the organisational 
philosophy, as the application of continuous improvement and the development of a 
quality assurance programme. (Farrell & Ho 1996) 
Firstly planning this is of main significance to basic management, as the businesses 
each year set goals. These then are consequent of the mission statement and the 
relevant objectives needed to meet the outcomes. As involves Human Resource 
Planning which is known as; the process of systematically forecasting the future 
demand and supply for employees and the deployment of their skills within the 
strategic objectives of the organisation. (Bratton and Gold, 2003, p191) Also the local 
government takes into account the factors of controlling of budgets to fund the 
activities with the appropriate equipment needed and the facility management. Also 
includes the leading and controlling of all staff involved since this will improve the 
environment so participants get the best experience delivered to them.
Employment – Management / Leadership Focus SPO041-2 
Their strategy is created for long term mass participation hence Key Performance 
Indicators (KPI) is used in the plans. Consequently the Sport Development even 
does well when organising includes contingencies any case anything goes wrong. 
Additionally the council planning takes into consideration of strategic, tactical and 
operational. Therefore the principle of planning used to determine what goals the 
business wants to achieve, this involves departmentalisation because illustrates who 
is responsible for what job and he/she will have to performed. 
This is used by Sport Development like many other organisations since they are able 
to departmentalise. Both focus on the staff roles, services provided, processes 
needed and the customer type of the business. Whereby getting individuals together 
as group, this is so with the intention of any general related tasks or responsibilities 
these are able to be harmonised. Therefore these people within the business are 
allocated to specific departments, thus the able to use their skills which maximise 
and aid in reaching organisational targets. (Hoye, 2009) 
Through the control of delegation of people or their positions to different 
departments, this is so the individuals can perform effectively which it is the most 
familiar type of according departmentalising. This is shown in the Corby Borough 
Council Sport Development current hierarchy structure Figure 2 shows how they 
arrangement of the Sport Development department with each individual being 
Carl Page (1008889) Page 6 Foundation Degree in Sports Coaching
Employment – Management / Leadership Focus SPO041-2 
allocated a particular job with specific roles and responsibilities to meeting the needs 
of the community with the service presently provided.

Assess Corby Borough Council Sport Development Against Their Management 
Of The Environment In Which They Work. 
To assess Corby Borough Council’s Sport Development against their management 
of the environment in which they work will be done through a PESTLE analysis. This 
is because it easily arranges a framework for assessing a business especially 
looking at the worldwide, external factors on the local government. 
The six factors are; Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal and 
Environmental (CIPD, 2010) analysing of the internal and external factors which

Assess the management of the business provider against specific 
management areas such as sustainability, financial management, marketing, 
strategy, etc. 
Following the mission statements of Corby Borough Council, they work in numerous 
partnerships and agencies these other businesses are based locally, regionally and 
international all part of the sports industry. This then results in a local community to 
build a stronger, healthier and more active community. As the role of Sports 
Development their aim is to deliver better accessibility and have further opportunities 
for Sport and Physical Activity either recreationally or competitive for the complete 
borough. The South Gloucestershire Council 2012 clarify that local authority 
supports the constant improvement of high quality services. As well each local 
government must organise itself for quality principles. Equally together this places 
assurance for their consumers London Borough of Ealing, (2005). 
Also the council’s most recent sports development strategy reflects the trend by 
putting the importance on youths and elderly groups from the community. The local 
Carl Page (1008889) Page 11 Foundation Degree in Sports Coaching
Employment – Management / Leadership Focus SPO041-2 
council I believe fulfil their responsibility for the development provision for sport to the 
community. This in return helps to improve the health and wellbeing of residents. 
Furthermore the Sports Development offers opportunities for guidance, training and 
provision to the local community, sport clubs, coaches, leaders and schools. Their 
responsibility is to organise a range of events like holiday sport activity camps and 
recreational activity sessions. Besides sustainability through running supervision with 
funding applications and club mark accreditation 
Evaluating the Effectiveness and Contribution of Human Resource 
Management to the Performance of the Local Authority 
Investigation into key HRM practices Schuler (1984) show, human resource 
planning, and the staffing which involves recruitment and selection plus socialisation. 
Along with appraising those to increase the gap between their competitors, plus the 
need for continuous training and developing of the staff also helps to keep union-management 
relationships in harmony. 
Business Encyclopaedia (2012) defines Human Resource Management as; 
Human resource management (HRM), or human resource 
development, entai ls planning, implementing, and managing recrui tment, 
as wel l as selection, training, career, and organizational development 
ini tiatives wi thin an organization. The goal of HRM is to maximize the 
productivi ty of an organization by optimizing the effectiveness of i ts 
Carl Page (1008889) Page 12 Foundation Degree in Sports Coaching
Employment – Management / Leadership Focus SPO041-2 
employees whi le simul taneously improving the work l i fe of employees and 
treating employees as valuable resources. 
The Human resource management–organisation performance model in Figure 3 
presents the connection concerning Human Resource Management methods and 
the organisation performance. The model shows the general link of Human resource 
management, performance measures which are in cooperation of individual 
employee and the work group levels. Furthermore includes the organisational 
performance measures and various other factors. Assessing the effectiveness and 
contribution of Human Resource Management of the local authority is by evaluating 
individuals and/or the organisational performance.

How Does This Affect The Purpose Of The Organisation? 
As Corby Borough Council management it is a difficult for the Sport Development 
Department as needing to offer opportunities for development of staff within a sport 
organisation. Additionally with the total magnitude of the business involved, for 
controlling the range of paid staff force and manage the volunteers within the sports 
industry. This is because it is important for the workforce to be continually pleased 
and efficient in their practice. 
Creation & Justification of Action Plan Relating To the Management 
The action plan below includes a sequence of steps that is going to be acquired, or 
the actions in which ought to be carried out good, for the strategy to achieve. An 
action plan has three major elements. Firstly the detailed responsibilities, what will 
be accomplished and who shall do it. Next is the time prospect, since when will it this 
be completed. Finally the resource allocations, as what is needed for instance the 
exact finances are obtainable for certain events Business Dictionary (2012). 
SWOT Analysis 
A Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) Analysis HNTB, 
(2002), this acronym helps to distinguish the four significant components of the 
analysis. Kokemuller (2012) As it is beneficial for understanding the organisation or 
situation they are in for and all sorts of situations for example decision-making 
Morrison, (2010). BizHelp24.com (2010) suggests that it is employed mainly to 
assess the present position of the business so that decides on a Management 
Carl Page (1008889) Page 14 Foundation Degree in Sports Coaching
Employment – Management / Leadership Focus SPO041-2 
strategy for the future. Likewise the analysis includes the creation and logging of the 
strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in connection to a specific mission 
or objectives. British Council, (2003). Appendix 2. Shows the internal and external 
factors which can be either helpful or harm to the council. 
Strengths 
The Council is able to control large projects; this is a good measurement for the 
achievement of schemes it will occur in the future One Place Audit Commission, 
(2009). The Annual Audit Letter Corby Borough Council Audit 2009/10 shows that 
the local authority is managing its resources and finances with adequate 
arrangements for the workforce too. Also helps with crime prevention/lower rates as 
incentives are being run with Northants Police, the NHS and the Council One Place 
Audit Commission, (2009). Top training facilities the athletics track and swimming 
pool can be used as training venues for the Olympics. Furthermore the offices of the 
council are in a good location a placed in the centre of the town. 
Weaknesses 
Due to the economic climate, the government are possibly overspending as trying 
too hard to develop too much/ too quickly. Therefore managing growth of population 
becomes difficult when reaching the target audience with a limited staff force. 
Consequently hard to maintain customer satisfaction and some facilities are out of 
the way with even some needing to be regenerated as well. Regularly offer sport 
clubs, half term activity camps and hire out facilities so their able to reach wide range 
Carl Page (1008889) Page 15 Foundation Degree in Sports Coaching
Employment – Management / Leadership Focus SPO041-2 
of ages and ability in the community effectively. Yet need to do more promotion and 
marking to generate money and partnerships. 
Opportunities 
Climate change, local government and contingency planning, needing to adapt with 
the weather effects on people being able to visiting and using the facilities (Appendix 
4.) Olympics Torch, and Queen Visit is often published and be promoted which 
showcases the improvements made to the borough. Consequently this will also help 
the push for City status. 
Carl Page (1008889) Page 16 Foundation Degree in Sports Coaching 
Threats 
Sustainability East (2012) says “with increased threat of flooding (coastal and inland) 
will have an impact upon local authorities (including planning services) and 
emergency response and risk management partners.” Due to budget cuts and 
overspending sometimes occurs and redundancies are made. Yet health and safety 
number of staff ratio becomes a problem, since needing volunteers for stewarding at 
events. Also the space needed for redevelopment and cost implications of 
maintaining. 
Quality Assurance (QA) 
The words “quality assurance” and “quality control” are frequently take advantage of 
to signify approaches of confirming the quality of a service or product provided. 
Firstly Quality Assurance is known as “the planned and systematic activities
Employment – Management / Leadership Focus SPO041-2 
implemented in a quality system so that quality requirements for a product or service 
will be fulfilled”. (Tech Target, 2006) Whilst Quality Control this is “the observation 
techniques and activities used to fulfil requirements for quality.” (Tech Target, 2006) 
Plus to make sure that the business delivers a high quality service is via the 
Shewhart cycle for quality assurance includes four stages: Plan, Do, Check, and Act. 
(Wise Geek, 2003) 
Corby Borough Council Sport Development needs to be easily accessible and meet 
needs of the neighbourhood. Subsequently control the delivery of offering quality a 
service, this expressed by Derbyshire County Council, 2012 “We work directly with 
service users, carers and their representatives to ensure services meet their 
assessed needs, expectations and are of the highest quality.” As both the councils 
have to possess an excellent strategy, this is built upon the expectation of customers 
and that of the local authority which is delivered across the area. 
Conclusion 
Consequently Human Resource Management is necessary for any business to 
function effectively. Whether they are in commercial side, state or non-profit 
environment given that with great employee management this at the focus of all 
booming sport organisations. Also with the aids of PESTLE and SWOT analysis it 
effectively audits the businesses internal and external factors. Then through utilising 
this information attained it helps to with strategic decision-making on the assessing 
the product/service being provided.

Considering that the way of improving the health and wellbeing of people improve 
and develop the way their provision for sport to the community. In the function of 
Corby Borough Council’s strategic plan for sports provision this plainly reveals that 
they are efficiently reaching the needs of the local community. Therefore successful 
and logical human resource management, thus it must be an essential management 
instrument for any sport organisation whatever their size or type within the sports

  • 3. Employment – Management / Leadership Focus SPO041-2 Introduction The Sport Development Department of Corby Borough Council provide an opportunity for the community to take part in sport. There is a need to focus on Corby Borough Council Sport Development Department, evaluating them as a provider alongside the concepts and principles from management. Through applying the specific employment areas from coaching and fitness it is possible to evaluate the business provider such as their effectiveness and contribution of human resource management to the performance. What Is Management? In principle every organisation management of resources, containing labour, premises, technology, finance, materials plus alters these resources into goods or services that are vital for their customers as shown in Figure 1. Collin (2006); management is the directing or running of a business. Management by objectives is a way of managing a business by setting work targets for the managers and testing to see if they are achieved correctly and on time. (Dictionary of Economics, 2006) Figure 1. Pierkarz, M (2009) in Bill, K (ed). (2009) Sport Management. Carl Page (1008889) Page 2 Foundation Degree in Sports Coaching
  • 4. Employment – Management / Leadership Focus SPO041-2 Since managing the inputs type, quantity and arrangement of the resources can differ permitted to the requirements of respective organisations besides they might also contrast over period. Organisations have a need for resources and are responsible to supply and meet social objectives. This is because specific ones they are controlled in market shares which are organised to a substantial degree. Additionally the local government include a process mix since being an operator of resources, particularly land, labour, capital finance and expertise. Nevertheless in adding all local authorities’ outputs express political factors and offering provisions whenever seeing their policy sections need to follow. What Does It Involve? Recently there’s been an increase in Human Resource Management, which highlights the significance of individuals and their abilities which they have that helps to increase organisational productivity. For instance in Human Resource Management the concepts “commitment” to the business as well as the expansion in “quality” drive this has controlled senior management groups to appreciate the amplified significance of preparing employee’s for advancement and their long-term Carl Page (1008889) Page 3 Foundation Degree in Sports Coaching learning. Similarly there’s been extra credit of the essentials which balance the potentials of the employees with the desires of the organisation. These concepts necessitate just don’t simply need cautious development then again likewise a better prominence on employee improvement. (Hall, 1984; Nadler, 1984).The key concepts management take is primary a unique method towards employment management, as this will then
  • 5. Employment – Management / Leadership Focus SPO041-2 give them the competitive advantage. Hence importance of employment of loyal and proficient workforce, whereby there is a strategic and logical management. (Schuler & MacMillan, 1984) The Selected Business Provider and Their Purpose Corby Borough Council Sports Development Strategy includes their Mission Statement: “Working together for the future to improve the Quality of life for the people of the Borough”. (Appendix 1.) The Mission Statement: “Corby Borough Council working in partnership with other agencies and the local community will work towards building a stronger, healthier and more active community”. (Appendix 1.) Therefore the council’s uses business values which present various chances for individuals to be involved in local recreation. Along with supporting of latest services and activity sessions; because each resident has a privilege to go to nearby place for safe recreation. Since I believe the Sports Development department objectives are presenting better entry and improved chances in physical activity and sport to the complete community. The Environment of Which the Local Government Operates Though I firmly believe the participants must be at the heart of the development; since they are the people who be using the products and service being provided by the council. As the opportunities being created by the Sport Development Department are the ones who are required to sustain and the co-ordination of Carl Page (1008889) Page 4 Foundation Degree in Sports Coaching
  • 6. Employment – Management / Leadership Focus SPO041-2 innovative projects to manage peoples satisfaction levels. Consequently the local authority has to be sufficiently adaptable to reach them. PESTLE analysis is a useful tool which is able to support businesses reaching policies via assisting them to recognise the external environment in which they run presently and will work in the time ahead. (Appendix 3.) Evaluating Corby Borough Council Sport Development against Management Carl Page (1008889) Page 5 Foundation Degree in Sports Coaching Principals Research has shown an improvement in quality management and a commitment of further improvement. Notable improvements include a change to the organisational philosophy, as the application of continuous improvement and the development of a quality assurance programme. (Farrell & Ho 1996) Firstly planning this is of main significance to basic management, as the businesses each year set goals. These then are consequent of the mission statement and the relevant objectives needed to meet the outcomes. As involves Human Resource Planning which is known as; the process of systematically forecasting the future demand and supply for employees and the deployment of their skills within the strategic objectives of the organisation. (Bratton and Gold, 2003, p191) Also the local government takes into account the factors of controlling of budgets to fund the activities with the appropriate equipment needed and the facility management. Also includes the leading and controlling of all staff involved since this will improve the environment so participants get the best experience delivered to them.
  • 7. Employment – Management / Leadership Focus SPO041-2 Their strategy is created for long term mass participation hence Key Performance Indicators (KPI) is used in the plans. Consequently the Sport Development even does well when organising includes contingencies any case anything goes wrong. Additionally the council planning takes into consideration of strategic, tactical and operational. Therefore the principle of planning used to determine what goals the business wants to achieve, this involves departmentalisation because illustrates who is responsible for what job and he/she will have to performed. This is used by Sport Development like many other organisations since they are able to departmentalise. Both focus on the staff roles, services provided, processes needed and the customer type of the business. Whereby getting individuals together as group, this is so with the intention of any general related tasks or responsibilities these are able to be harmonised. Therefore these people within the business are allocated to specific departments, thus the able to use their skills which maximise and aid in reaching organisational targets. (Hoye, 2009) Through the control of delegation of people or their positions to different departments, this is so the individuals can perform effectively which it is the most familiar type of according departmentalising. This is shown in the Corby Borough Council Sport Development current hierarchy structure Figure 2 shows how they arrangement of the Sport Development department with each individual being Carl Page (1008889) Page 6 Foundation Degree in Sports Coaching

To assess Corby Borough Council’s Sport Development against their management of the environment in which they work will be done through a PESTLE analysis. This is because it easily arranges a framework for assessing a business especially looking at the worldwide, external factors on the local government. The six factors are; Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal and Environmental (CIPD, 2010) analysing of the internal and external factors which Carl Page (1008889) Page 7 Foundation Degree in Sports Coaching

This then results in a local community to build a stronger, healthier and more active community. As the role of Sports Development their aim is to deliver better accessibility and have further opportunities for Sport and Physical Activity either recreationally or competitive for the complete borough. The South Gloucestershire Council 2012 clarify that local authority supports the constant improvement of high quality services. As well each local government must organise itself for quality principles. Equally together this places assurance for their consumers London Borough of Ealing, (2005). Also the council’s most recent sports development strategy reflects the trend by putting the importance on youths and elderly groups from the community.

This in return helps to improve the health and wellbeing of residents. Furthermore the Sports Development offers opportunities for guidance, training and provision to the local community, sport clubs, coaches, leaders and schools. Their responsibility is to organise a range of events like holiday sport activity camps and recreational activity sessions. Besides sustainability through running supervision with funding applications and club mark accreditation Evaluating the Effectiveness and Contribution of Human Resource Management to the Performance of the Local Authority Investigation into key HRM practices Schuler (1984) show, human resource planning, and the staffing which involves recruitment and selection plus socialisation. Along with appraising those to increase the gap between their competitors, plus the need for continuous training and developing of the staff also helps to keep union-management relationships in harmony.

  • 15. Employment – Management / Leadership Focus SPO041-2 How Does This Affect The Purpose Of The Organisation? As Corby Borough Council management it is a difficult for the Sport Development Department as needing to offer opportunities for development of staff within a sport organisation. Additionally with the total magnitude of the business involved, for controlling the range of paid staff force and manage the volunteers within the sports industry. This is because it is important for the workforce to be continually pleased and efficient in their practice. Creation & Justification of Action Plan Relating To the Management The action plan below includes a sequence of steps that is going to be acquired, or the actions in which ought to be carried out good, for the strategy to achieve. An action plan has three major elements. Firstly the detailed responsibilities, what will be accomplished and who shall do it. Next is the time prospect, since when will it this be completed. Finally the resource allocations, as what is needed for instance the exact finances are obtainable for certain events Business Dictionary (2012). SWOT Analysis A Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) Analysis HNTB, (2002), this acronym helps to distinguish the four significant components of the analysis. Kokemuller (2012) As it is beneficial for understanding the organisation or situation they are in for and all sorts of situations for example decision-making Morrison, (2010). BizHelp24.com (2010) suggests that it is employed mainly to assess the present position of the business so that decides on a Management Carl Page (1008889) Page 14 Foundation Degree in Sports Coaching
  • 16. Employment – Management / Leadership Focus SPO041-2 strategy for the future. Likewise the analysis includes the creation and logging of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in connection to a specific mission or objectives. British Council, (2003). Appendix 2. Shows the internal and external factors which can be either helpful or harm to the council. Strengths The Council is able to control large projects; this is a good measurement for the achievement of schemes it will occur in the future One Place Audit Commission, (2009). The Annual Audit Letter Corby Borough Council Audit 2009/10 shows that the local authority is managing its resources and finances with adequate arrangements for the workforce too. Also helps with crime prevention/lower rates as incentives are being run with Northants Police, the NHS and the Council One Place Audit Commission, (2009). Top training facilities the athletics track and swimming pool can be used as training venues for the Olympics. Furthermore the offices of the council are in a good location a placed in the centre of the town. Weaknesses Due to the economic climate, the government are possibly overspending as trying too hard to develop too much/ too quickly. Therefore managing growth of population becomes difficult when reaching the target audience with a limited staff force. Consequently hard to maintain customer satisfaction and some facilities are out of the way with even some needing to be regenerated as well. Regularly offer sport clubs, half term activity camps and hire out facilities so their able to reach wide range Carl Page (1008889) Page 15 Foundation Degree in Sports Coaching
  • 17. Employment – Management / Leadership Focus SPO041-2 of ages and ability in the community effectively. Yet need to do more promotion and marking to generate money and partnerships. Opportunities Climate change, local government and contingency planning, needing to adapt with the weather effects on people being able to visiting and using the facilities (Appendix 4.) Olympics Torch, and Queen Visit is often published and be promoted which showcases the improvements made to the borough. Consequently this will also help the push for City status. Carl Page (1008889) Page 16 Foundation Degree in Sports Coaching Threats Sustainability East (2012) says “with increased threat of flooding (coastal and inland) will have an impact upon local authorities (including planning services) and emergency response and risk management partners.” Due to budget cuts and overspending sometimes occurs and redundancies are made. Yet health and safety number of staff ratio becomes a problem, since needing volunteers for stewarding at events. Also the space needed for redevelopment and cost implications of maintaining. Quality Assurance (QA) The words “quality assurance” and “quality control” are frequently take advantage of to signify approaches of confirming the quality of a service or product provided. Firstly Quality Assurance is known as “the planned and systematic activities
  • 18. Employment – Management / Leadership Focus SPO041-2 implemented in a quality system so that quality requirements for a product or service will be fulfilled”. (Tech Target, 2006) Whilst Quality Control this is “the observation techniques and activities used to fulfil requirements for quality.” (Tech Target, 2006) Plus to make sure that the business delivers a high quality service is via the Shewhart cycle for quality assurance includes four stages: Plan, Do, Check, and Act. (Wise Geek, 2003) Corby Borough Council Sport Development needs to be easily accessible and meet needs of the neighbourhood. Subsequently control the delivery of offering quality a service, this expressed by Derbyshire County Council, 2012 “We work directly with service users, carers and their representatives to ensure services meet their assessed needs, expectations and are of the highest quality.” As both the councils have to possess an excellent strategy, this is built upon the expectation of customers and that of the local authority which is delivered across the area. Conclusion Consequently Human Resource Management is necessary for any business to function effectively. Whether they are in commercial side, state or non-profit environment given that with great employee management this at the focus of all booming sport organisations. Also with the aids of PESTLE and SWOT analysis it effectively audits the businesses internal and external factors. Then through utilising this information attained it helps to with strategic decision-making on the assessing the product/service being provided.
