In the UK today, one in six adults do not have the literacy skills expected of an 11 year old and one in two adults do not have these levels of functional numeracy.
This is costing companies thousands of pounds in wastage and lower productivity. Whatever your employees’ age or role, a good understanding of basic maths and English skills is essential to be effective at work.
Many people may prefer to ignore their skills gaps in these areas, but there is help available to improve literacy and numeracy skills, boost confidence and increase staff performance.
With learndirect you can help your employees improve their literacy and numeracy skills with minimum disruption to the working day. Plus where a basic skills need is identified it is very likely that funding will be available.
