Engaging the workplace of tomorrow, today.
One of most common complaints about staff hiring and acquiring potential workers, is that the generation entering the workforce today is not prepared for operating in the work environment, that they have insufficient skills and the up-time between hire and becoming an effective employee is getting to be excessive.
It is key to the success of any business, that staff training is built into the business strategy. Investing in your staff with training, along with a supportive work environment, encourages staff to remain and develop with the business, but also helps develop their skills to aid with business progress and success.
One of the positives that can come from a lower skill level for new starters, is that it is easier for any company to input training and engage with the new staff, giving an immediate feeling of being both welcome and valued. This often shows itself in the returns, which is a dedicated employee with improved passion and loyalty for the role.

How we are helping.
At Legge-Work Consultancy, we are already working with and helping with the workplace engagement of students within schools, to try and overcome the increasing barrier between new-starts and work-place readiness. Currently, we operate within one local school, giving students workplace experiences and workshops around strategic thinking, business planning, efficiency, economics and several soft skills such as; negotiation, time-management, forward planning, positive outlooks and more, all built into engaging and dynamic activities, designed to see students both learn and enjoy.
We actively seek opportunities to place work-experience students, on behalf of the school, but also work with the business to help capitalise on the placement, through local-media coverage. By helping out students with work-placements, this generates community impact and generates free marketing content for your business, as well as helping meet positive values in the workplace.
If you would be keen to offer work placements, business experiences/visits and/or get involved with recruiting in the local schools, do get in touch to find out more.
Finding the solution your business needs, together.
