UK Training Industry Press Releases

Organisation development consultancy Echelon has partnered with the Institute of Payroll Professionals (IPP) to launch an online learning resource to help the Institute's members achieve their continuing professional development (CPD) aims.

Based on Echelon's popular ‘Learning Matters' online learning library, the IPP branded site makes available to members:

• 70 action lists that provide performance support on everyday issues
• 200 self-development solutions to build new knowledge and skills
• 150 book digests that introduce the work of some of the world's leading management thinkers.

The IPP's 5,000+ members will have 24/7 access to learning covering a wide range of subject areas, including leadership, communication, teamwork, finance and customer relationships.  Echelon worked with the IPP to identify the subject areas that are of greatest interest and priority to members.  The 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.

Alisatir Morrison, CEO of Echelon, commented: "Often, professionals spend so long on gaining and maintaining their technical skills that the equally important areas of personal and management development are overlooked. This new online learning library offers IPP members a chance to redress the balance in a highly efficient and cost-effective way. The library contains a wealth of material - solution prices range from £2 to £10 each - that can be studied at the time and place best suited to the individual's workload and preference.
