• Learning Links has already started a number of organisational wide projects and initiatives that will address some of the survey results. For example we currently ran the Learning Links Customer Survey. This shows that Learning Links uses customer feedback to improve our processes. Additionally the survey will assist Learning Links with identifying ways to ensure customer concerns get corrected quickly.
• Other projects to commence post June 2015 include the review of our performance development process and employment engagement strategies. As well as the implementation of a quality framework. These just a few of the project we have planned. All projects will be progressively communicated to staff.
