Make Your Mark at Work Toolkit

The Make Your Mark at Work Toolkit will help you make the most of the talent in your workplace and deliver bottom line benefits to your organisation.

The toolkit contains practical recommendations that can be easily implemented within the workplace. It also includes case studies and best practice examples from companies of all shapes and sizes who are already seeing the benefits of encouraging employees to make their mark.

The first two areas the toolkit is focusing on are ideas at work and networking. Over the next 12 months we will add further content and look at other workplace issues and opportunities. We’d like your feedback and suggestions as to what you’d like to see within the toolkit. We’d also like to know how you encourage your employees to be enterprising so we can use your ideas to inspire others.
