Poor management can have long-lasting negative effects: reduced productivity, strained working relationships and even Employment Tribunal claims. Meanwhile, poor health and safety awareness can put your employees and your business at risk.

Meaningful training for managers and employees ensures people are well equipped to carry out their role, raises awareness of best-practice around workplace issues, and can be instrumental in preventing HR and health and safety headaches.

Explore our course types

We offer a holistic catalogue of courses and different ways of delivering them.

Why waste time covering old ground? With our adaptive courses, learners are given a pre-assessment to gauge their current understanding and knowledge gaps. Based on this, courses are then automatically tailored to their individual learning needs for maximum impact.

If you prefer a more ‘traditional’ e-Learning approach, our detailed study courses present learners with information, then test their comprehension afterwards. As the name suggests, these are longer, more in-depth courses, but contain interactive and engaging elements to hold learners’ attention

Training doesn’t have to be dull and boring. Our immersive, scenario-based courses place the learner at the centre of the experience and test their ability to make the right decisions. Highly interactive, they are designed to improve learner engagement.

Some forms of training can result in information overload. These bitesize courses present key topics in digestible 5 to 10-minute segments, boosting knowledge retention. They can also be rolled out easily in response to emerging training needs.

Our courses are also available as toolbox talks – a collection of resources designed to support small-group training. Our toolbox talks contain a number of multimedia training materials for managers – from animations and diagrams to detailed facilitation notes – to illustrate the points being made and encourage discussions.

To reinforce the key learning messages and behaviours conveyed in our courses, and promote a culture of compliance, we also provide a suite of supporting resources that you can print out and display in the workplace, or share digitally via your intranet, newsletter or display screen.

Cost-effective, time-efficient employee development

At WorkNest, we understand that taking time out for employee training isn’t always possible. Nevertheless, as an employer, you want to know that your staff are fully equipped to undertake their duties confidently and compliantly – and that your business is protected – without affecting productivity or spending a fortune.

e-Learning is the perfect solution. Not only is it more cost-effective than classroom training, but it keeps downtime to a minimum, puts employees in charge of their own development, and allows training to be completed at a pace that suits each individual and with minimal disruption to their daily work role.
