Employer approaches to training requests: XpertHR survey 2011
Author: Charlotte Wolff
XpertHR research finds that most employers already process and grant requests for training and regard the employee right to make a request in relation to study or training as irrelevant.

Key points
- Three-quarters of the 87 employers taking part in this XpertHR survey have an existing, informal process in place whereby employees can make requests relating to their training.
