The Staying Alive Academy aligns itself with your business and gets an understanding of the issues that your organisation faces. By crafting a blended business solution, we deploy totally customised learning into your own bespoke learning environment - your business academy. Academies are quick and easy to implement and you will be able to accurately measure and reward results. Measurements which provide a tangible return on investment. With 80% of organisations now believing that their people should take some responsibility for their own learning and development it is no longer enough to just provide on line programs.
The Staying Alive Academy will help you to develop a culture of usage way above industry norms - and we'll only charge you for actual usage too!
E-learning has some notable positives:
- You can use it to deliver training to a geographically dispersed audience - different time zones, for example.
- In doing this you are significantly reducing delivery costs - no travel, hotels etc to worry about.
- E-learning can deliver content at the convenience of the user - this can reduce the impact on a business - less time away from the work place.
- It can be used by the learner to explore things the way they want.
- It can also be used to reinforce learning delivered previously, say on a face-2-face course, by providing 'just in time' learning - you refresh what you did on a course just before you need to apply it. E.g. you do a recruitment interviewing course, but don't apply it for a month or 2. Just before you have to do that first interview, you use the e-learning system to refresh yourself - thereby enhancing the value/effectiveness of the original course.
Your ROI derived from our solution will be incredibly high.
The Staying Alive Academy is using proven material which will show direct cash savings for little outlay. Obviously the actual ROI will depend on your company circumstances, but essentially we offer a year's learning at less than the cost of one day's formal training - online and on demand.
We are very aware of the difficulties companies are facing at present, and are offering some really, cost effective and helpful terms to enable training departments to move forward in these challenging times.

Employers' sources of productivity growth and competitiveness
There is considerable concern in Government about the scale of the evolving threat
to UK competitiveness arising from the rapid economic growth of China and India,
which are now major new sources of production and innovation.
However, it is also important to recognise the difficulty for Government to predict with any accuracy what the sources of technological and competitive growth are likely to be, and
therefore what specific skills to develop and support in the UK. Thus, as a second key
driver, we have the responses of employers to observed trends in markets for products
and services, and in production and recruitment.
In a trading and production environment characterised by high levels of global competition, it is important that firms can both respond to observed trends and be proactive and innovative in establishing new markets.
This emphasises the importance of lifelong learning as the method through which
individuals, firms and communities develop the skills required, both reacting to
observed trends and through innovation, creativity and enterprise.
Although Government cannot predict with certainty which business sectors will experience
prolonged growth, there are compelling arguments that certain personal features will
prove valuable in enabling individuals to have the ability and disposition to learn and
respond to change: the features of personal resilience, identity and capability are
particularly important.
However, alongside these individual skills it is vital that employers respond to the
challenge of supporting the development of specific skills and capabilities important to
their business, and that employers fund a substantial share of this training need. The
willingness and capacity of firms to do this will be a key variable in establishing the skills
base of the UK over the long term.
