Learning on the job with JSB

With Britain heading for a triple dip recession times are tougher perhaps than ever before. Redundancies are commonplace, High Street names are falling weekly by the wayside.

If you work for a decent organisation then you have to count your blessings.  I was immensely fortunate, it transpires, to move from the private sector last year to a thriving Arts Centre and music conservatoire. Organisations like this focus on the people and their happiness and career development.

So it pays for all companies to invest a little time in improving their staffs' performance and satisfaction and it can be well worthwhile investing in consultancy companies to do so. JSB are learning and organisational development consultants. Since way back in 1980 they have offered training courses around the world, in areas such as employment law training, e-skills,  communications skills courses, personal development courses and much more.

It could be worth your employer seeing what they can do to improve the well being and output of the workforce. They deliver to over 100 clients each year including some well known global retail brands such as Lush, the now lamented HMV, Farrow and Ball, Karen Millen, Christian Louboutin, Primark, Clarins and Disney.
