Brief description It is necessary for Australian businesses to maintain and enhance their productivity in the competitive global marketplace. As enterprises anticipate and face the challenges of the contemporary economy, a central concern is ensuring that employees learn what is needed to engage successfully with these challenges. Rapid growth in unstructured training in organisations demonstrates the importance of focusing on learning that is integrated into work processes. The outcomes of this project will help organisations exploit the productive potential of these different forms of learning. It will do this by identifying the links between organisational imperatives and the development of personnel.
