Informal Learning at Work: How to Boost Performance in Tough Times

How to build Informal Learning into your learning strategy

Discover how the role of anybody involved with workplace learning, enhancing capability and improving performance MUST change to successfully manage the critical shift in the way organizations need to cater to the learning needs of their employees.

This book shows you how, using practical advice from workplace learning experts, and examples and case studies from around the world.

It establishes the relationship between informal learning and employee engagement, knowledge management, organisational development, performance support and competence.

It is clear that the role of Learning and Development is changing. This is both a challenge and an opportunity for L&D practitioners. The opportunity is yours for the taking!
