The knowledge and know-how of employees is the most valuable resource in any modern organization. But are we intentional about cultivating, encouraging, and fostering it? Studies show that 90 percent of all professional development expenditures are wasted, i.e. never used in the workplace. We have resources to help you fight that.
Our popular PUGS@Work are offered during the workday to professionals trying to learn from practitioners, in community with other motivated people serious about their craft. Contact us if you want to want to bring any of these training to your organization.
