A study of accountability in work-based learning: The Learning Representative Initiative in the UK

Lee B., Cassel C.

Management

2004

Vol. 8, no 1

171-181

Stimulating the lifelong learning of a workforce is an important Human Resource Management issue, while ensuring that management provide such stimulation is an important accountability issue for employees' representatives. The United Kingdom's Employment Act (2002) granted trade union learning representatives' statutory rights to paid time off to diagnose workers' learning needs and to negotiate their learning. One way of exploring whether employers are providing learning opportunities and are accountable to trade unions for such learning is by examining whether trade union websites commend best practice of any companies. The purpose of this paper is to report an example from a trade union website of best practices of learning negotiated between an employer and a trade union, as a consequence of the initiative. The discussion is set in a context of the benefits of learning and an account of the extent to which trade union members in different occupations have enjoyed learning in the past and stand to benefit from the union learning representative initiative. The case is used to highlight some of the steps that were taken to ensure the initiative was successful. The discussion concludes by considering the broader lessons of the union learning representative initiative.
