Learning is the Business - New Publication

booklet pic The enormous expansion in workplace learning in recent years has helped thousands of trade unionists in the South West to change their lives for the better by teaching them new skills. But establishing and developing a culture of lifelong learning at the workplace doesn't just help individual members of the workforce: it also has a significant impact on the fortunes of the companies and organisations themselves.

The seven case studies in this book are prime examples of how workplace learning can benefit both employers and employees. A number of examples include work with small companies funded through projects with the Learning and Skills Council and Government Office. It can be very challenging for small businesses to train their staff as smaller numbers of workers can mean less flexibility. The unions and employers featured here have been determined and creative in order to succeed. The message for managers is clear: whether you want to increase your productivity, introduce new technology or recruit and retain staff, working with your unions to encourage learning in the workplace will help you achieve your goals.
