Consultancy Service
The 5% Club exists to inspire positive employer action for increased, inclusive, and accessible workplace learning for all.
In 2021 we introduced our Accredited Membership Scheme (the Employer Audit) to provide participant member employers with comparative evidence of their approach and performance, and in the summer of 2024, we introduced a new consultancy service to support these inspired employers to translate the associated insight into action.
This is a significant step in guiding accredited members to deliver further increases to their workplace learning offering, and to make those offering more socially impactful, inclusive, and accessible to all, irrespective of social background, personal characteristics, or individual circumstance.
Of most relevance and utility to those accredited members who have completed the Employer Audit, the approach will be centred on the Audit benchmarking report(s)to help employers unlock future success, be that membership progression, identifying comparative areas for further optimisation or evidence based ‘asks’ of a senior leadership team.
The Consultancy Service have been designed to be easily and readily accessed, and will support employers in:
- Understanding fully the Employer Audit benchmarking report.
- Drawing insights from these reports, especially in the benchmarking comparisons with other participants of equivalent size and sector.
- Creating an action plan to support the refinement of an employers’ workplace learning strategy and forward plans.
- Provide robust, clear evidence of the success and gaps in an emerging talent strategy that require senior ‘buy in’ and support.
In addition to this Individual Member Employer offering, we are also able to offer bespoke support to Large Employers looking to influence “earn and learn” activity in their Supply Chains, and Local/Regional Authorities looking to similarly influence employer behaviour in their areas. An example of such a bespoke approach is the “Gravity Scheme” developed to support the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA).
