The basic building blocks of performance
Poor skills in literacy, language and numeracy are a huge hidden ‘tax’ on business. They make it hard for workers to cope with new technologies and changing work roles – and they can lead to some very real health and safety issues.
The good news is that the New Zealand government has recognised the pressing need to improve foundation skills in this era of full employment. Partnering with The Learning Wave, you may even be able to access government funding to deal with the problems and start to release the potential in your workforce.
