Developing a Workplace Learning Environment

Do you feel you really want to make a difference in your workplace? Can you see avenues where the introduction of certain practices would improve productivity and morale?

Achievement of organisational goals in today’s climate of continuous improvement requires companies to commit to developing people. This program will help managers and team leaders to establish a culture of learning and to make best use of opportunities for learning through workplace activities.

Innovative managers will set up the workplace to create opportunities for team members to grow and develop their potential using workplace activities. The frontline manager must allow for team members to learn and practise new skills on the job - when the job changes and after training. This course introduces frontline managers to ways of doing this while achieving their work goals and targets. It also gives them an awareness of how people learn.
