REDUCING TRAINING COSTS
When Virgin Media was formed from the 2007 merger of NTL, Telewest and Virgin Mobile, it set about aligning learning and development with its revised business structure. XpertHR spoke to the organisation to find out how their work has paid off. The most striking result of their efforts to synchronise learning is the saving that it has made on external training providers by channelling all outside training requests through one outsourcing partner.
This month we also feature an article on Sainsbury's' multi-million-pound investment in six new state-of-the-art food colleges. This initiative was the result of the retailer's review of in-store food counters. The training will help ensure consistency and quality in both products and service.
On the topic of legislation, the Government has announced that the right to make a request in relation to study or training will not be extended from 6 April 2011 to employees in organisations with fewer than 250 employees. As yet, there is no news on whether or not it intends to repeal the statutory right or amend it for those employers with 250 or more employees.
Look out for the results of our research on learning and development budgets in the next XpertHR training newsletter.
