Performance management
In 2006 Lord Sandy Leitch delivered his review of the skills situation in the UK and its likely effect on the economy in a competitive, global environment. This review will have far reaching effects for employers, educators and individuals and numerous organisations are currently working on the response needed to take its findings into account.
We are advising the National Working Party, jointly sponsored by the DfES and Investors in People to look at the changes needed in the working relationship between employers and skills training providers entitled ‘New Ways of Working’.
Whilst the working party members are focussed on the structural changes needed to ensure that employers are able to receive the right kind of support to identify training needs, carry out gap analysis, source training providers and link learning and development into their business needs, our role is to carry out behavioural and cultural change programmes for employers, advisors and training providers.
This has begun with one to one coaching sessions with leaders of the UK assessment network, speaking engagements at employers’ groups and master classes which are booked for the summer as part of the ongoing programme.
It is too early to provide exact results at this time though early indications are proving very positive.
