Optimising Uptake of Mandated Workplace Training in the Western Australian Public Health Sector.

Abstract

This research explored WA public health sector workers' perceptions of mandated workplace training to identify strategies to optimise the uptake and impact of the training. The key finding was that staff are more likely to engage in mandated training when it meets their personal learning needs or when there is evidence that it impacts on safe practice. A Mandated Workplace Training Practice Framework based on the study findings was developed to guide future practice.
