New Possible is on a mission to help every leader unlock the competitive advantage of their people. We do this by turning employee feedback into the kind of meaningful insight that can build a more engaged workforce.
We also want to highlight the successes of the individuals, teams, and partners that are truly passionate about learning and development’s role in building a thriving organisation. In this article we introduce the British Training Awards, which is our quest to find Britain’s training all-stars.
Organisations are as diverse as their people and that’s why we want to discover and celebrate firms from across the UK. Whether you’re a young start-up, a not for profit or a global giant – we’d love to hear how your initiatives, however big or small, are helping to create a better working world.
