More knowledge, more impact
The benefits of learning go beyond knowledge and skills. Individuals with more education experience less memory decline with age and higher lifetime earnings. When you provide employees with learning opportunities, they benefit even more than they might realise.
Boost satisfaction
People who work to improve skills feel happier day to day, even when learning feels challenging.1
Foster purpose
People who report having completed higher levels of education tend to experience less decline in sense of purpose as they age.2
Improve prospects
Completing an apprenticeship generates an estimated £77,000 - £89,000 in economic value over the course of an individual's career.3
Use talent strategy to build world-class teams
Building a future-ready workforce has four stages: talent planning, talent sourcing, talent development, and market development. It starts with taking an inventory of your teams’ skills. Followed by sourcing the best possible talent to fill any gaps. From there, investing in talent and market development that empowers your team and your partners.
Talent planning
In a world that’s constantly changing, talent planning helps you align workforce capabilities with emerging needs — both within your organisation and your clients’. Use data-driven insights to assess existing skills, identify gaps, and strategically upskill or reskill key roles across both teams.
