Scottish Borders Council has subscribed to organisation development (OD) consultancy Echelon’s online management learning resource.

[UKPRwire, Wed Mar 25 2009] Echelon’s popular ‘Learning Matters’ online learning library contains some 2,000 modules of development and performance support material that underpin quality of employee performance and continuing personal and professional development.

The library contains a broad range of solutions, including:
• action lists that provide performance support on everyday issues

• personal performance diagnostics that assess individual and team performance in a range of key activities and behaviours

• book digests that introduce the work of some of the world’s leading management thinkers

Scottish Borders Regional Council employees will have 24/7 access to learning covering a wide range of subject areas, including leadership, communication, teamwork, finance, coaching and customer relationships.

Scottish Borders Council asked Edinburgh-based training resource providers Ellerton Training Services to source the subject areas of greatest interest and priority. Ellerton Training Services was happy to recommend Echelon’s online library.

The Echelon solutions have the dual purpose of providing new knowledge and skills and acting as just-in-time reference tools to support accurate and productive working.
