July Newsletter

Welcome to the GoodPractice Newsletter

Here at GoodPractice we are thrilled to announce the re-launch of Eden Tree, the toolkit designed to support the Learning and Development, Organisational Development and Human Resources communities. Eden Tree is built on the quality of its 3000 resources. It offers instant access to the best materials covering key L&D, HR and leadership and management topics, but is also committed to nurturing the Eden Tree community, to share thoughts, ideas and knowledge.

The Eden Tree really is the place where busy Trainers and Learning and Organisational Development professionals can save hours of time, as it contains everything needed for the most common types of learning intervention, including self-assessments, exercises, case studies, workshops and handouts. Why not take a look for yourself?
