Implementation

In conjunction with Skillsmart, Bodycare Stores have implemented an ESOL programme, using CD-ROM to assess individuals at induction, performance review or when putting staff forward for vocational qualifications.

A personal progression programme is shaped encompassing basic skills and job-specific training.

Partners

Working with Skillsmart enabled retailers to take into account sector-specific needs and put together a learning programme with minimal impact on working time.

Impact

Productivity has increased dramatically and staff motivation has improved, with staff turnover being reduced by 40%, saving Bodycare Stores over £100,000 a year.
