n Towards Maturity, the benchmarking
and research practice that provides the most comprehensive review of Learning and Development (L&D) performance in the workplace, has entered into a new research and publication alliance with Emerald Global Publishing Group Ltd.
Laura Overton, the managing director at
Towards Maturity, explained: “Our research programme has provided active support for existing HR and L&D practitioners around the globe since 2003. The next step is to make it easier for those studying to join the profession to access powerful, authoritative and
independent research that will help them deliver results.
“Our alliance with Emerald Group will allow
our research to be accessed by a wider global market in order to increase the impact we, and our ambassadors, want to support in the wider HR and L&D community. It also helps us to continually improve the level of academic involvement in the Towards Maturity research programme.”
Emerald Global Publishing Group Ltd will also support the launch of the 2016 Towards Maturity Benchmark in November, with the alliance allowing the research to be shared
widely on Emerald’s digital content platform. Tony Roche, publishing director at Emerald Global Publishing Group Ltd, said: “Quality research, nurturing fresh thinking and delivering impact are at the heart of our publishing philosophy. With this in mind, Towards Maturity’s highly respected Benchmark research is a perfect fi t for us. By making the Benchmark available on the Emerald digital platform we will increase the impact it has upon organisations. “We are also excited to make the Benchmark available across our academic networks, enhancing its global reach and positively infl uencing the research agenda itself.”

These courses range from health and safety to customer care, time management, asbestos awareness and trading fairly. Chief executive of iKBBI, Damian Walters, commented: “Online learning can provide
particular benefi ts for our industry as it can be used fl exibly, anytime and anywhere there is access to the Internet. “Installers are genuinely busy people that simply cannot afford to take a large amount of time out to undertake continuing professional development in person – a directory of online opportunities therefore provides them with access to learning at a time and pace that is suitable to them.”
