NZ Management is delighted to welcome new member to our Top 200 family of major award sponsors. Workbase, New Zealand’s leading organisation tackling literacy and numeracy issues in the workplace, is now sponsor for the “Best Growth Strategy” category of the 2010 Top 200 Awards.
This award recognises the achievements of businesses that have people development as key part of their growth strategy – and people development is very much what Workbase is about.
Its customised workplace literacy training helps organisations improve productivity through improving employee literacy and numeracy levels (see case study P18).
Workbase chief executive Katherine Percy is strong believer in ‘lifetime learning’ and notes that as country, New Zealand will find it hard to maintain global competitiveness, increase exports and add value to our products and services if we don’t keep keen focus on building an able, educated and flexible workforce.
The Deloitte/Management Top 200 Awards last year celebrated their 20th anniversary as New Zealand’s most prestigious business event. Amongst the sponsorship family for its 21st birthday are: Deloitte, NZIM, Eagle Technology, QBE, Workbase, Kensington Swan, Marsh, Designworks and Ngatarawa.
