Did you know…
As part as the governments coronavirus job retention scheme, guidance has been released on what an employee can do when furloughed. Specific to training it states:
Your employer will need to notify you before putting you on furlough.
Once you are on furlough you will not be able to work for your employer, but you can undertake training or volunteer subject to public health guidance, as long as you’re not:
making money for your employer
providing services to your employer
If workers are required to for example, complete training courses whilst they are furloughed, then they must be paid at least the NLW/NMW for the time spent training, even if this is more than the 80% of their wage that will be subsidised.
Q: “But they’re at home so how can they do training courses?”
Social distancing has meant Skills Shop has had to rethink it’s approach to training. We love the buzz of being in the room with our clients seeing their confidence grow as they learn new skills.
Although we can’t see the smile on your face we know the satisfaction you still get from receiving a certificate.
Skills Shops e-learning platform will allow your staff to develop new skills from the comfort of their own home by completing online courses . They will still have time to take care of their family and tidy up the garden shed.
Disagreements and conflict between staff can be just as disruptive to your organisation. Give your staff the skills and techniques to resolve the situation and create a more harmonious and productive work environment by enrolling them in our Conflict management online course.
We’re working on rolling out a new course each month so have your say on which course we should do next.
