    Notes: The academic debate on partnerships has so far mainly focused on whether there are mutual gains for both unions and employers and whether they support or undermine branch organisation. This debate is here assessed in relation to learning partnerships, which are considered to be a distinctive form of partnership and represent a process of institution-building.

    Workplace learning and the employment relationship in the public sector (2003)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd

    Notes: Training that is relevant to employers is not necessarily enriching for employees, especially those on the lower salary scales. The authors argue that the analysis of training and development needs to be understood in the context of the employment relationship. Drawing on reasearch evidence from six case studies in the public sector, the article examines the impact of changes in work organisation on workplace learning, managers' and employees' own strategies towards it and the limitations of tools such as appraisal. Since employees' existing qualifications are poorly utilised and their development needs often frustrated, issues concerning job design, occupational progression routes and employee entitlements need to be addressed.

    Job change and workplace learning in the public sector: the significance of new technology for unskilled work (2002)

    Notes: Focussing here on local authorities and health services, this paper examines the significance of new technology to unskilled work in the public sector as it is developing and the implications for workplace learning. An argument is developed that new technology is central to a minority of examples of job change, although, significantly, it is more important to staff–initiated change and to workers’ ability to fully participate in life beyond the workplace.

    Notes: Contributes to debates about employee involvement and social partnership by exploring the ways in which individualist and collectivist aspects interrelate in a single initiative in the National Health Service. Identifies a particular form of employee involvement in which partnership is integral. Draws on a case study of one NHS Trust over a period of 18 months, using individual and group interviews with senior and line managers, union officials, shop stewards and staff. Argues that tension between collectivism and individualism becomes more acute lower down the organisation where line managers are responsible for implementing change. Highlights how understanding of involvement and partnership change over time and how a climate that is more amenable to union organisation can be created.

    "My Ladies Aren't Interested in Learning": Managers, Supervisors and the Social Context of Learning (2000)

    Notes: Abstract This paper is based on a research project which examines the opportunities for and barriers to workplace learning amongst low-grade staff in the UK public sector. It examines the key role of managers and supervisors, who make many of the decisions about individuals' access to learning opportunities. Their perception of staff's willingness and need to learn is influenced by factors such as age, gender or the likelihood of career development. It is these managers who control the immediate work environment and the flow of information about learning opportunities. Innovative examples of workplace learning are described, yet the paper concludes that the reality for many low grade manual and routine clerical staff continues to be one of limited opportunities for workplace learning.
