| Abstract: | Lifelong learning must become a reality for all employees if we are to create and sustain organizations, which can survive in the knowledge economy of the future. The author answers the question how do we engage those who never access training and development opportunities at work. In this article it is argued that these people may be attracted back to learning by offering them opportunities at work to learn with their families. This different method of facilitating lifelong learning is examined here. The benefits to business and the wider community of encouraging families to learn together at work are explored. It is concluded that the addition of family learning in organisations to our current range of training and development activities can engage a new constituency in learning at work. |
