The aims of the study reported here were to investigate the nature of recognition within individual enterprises, the processes employed, the strategies in place for promotion and support of recognition, and the perceived benefits for individual employees and the organisation more broadly. A further goal was to determine the barriers and facilitators of recognition - why employees chose to engage or not to engage in the skills recognition process, given their expectations and the expectations of their organisation. Six medium-to-large organisations with large workforces, often dispersed across Australia, were invited to participate in this research. Information for the study was gathered using in-depth, semi-structured interviews. These were conducted with the managers responsible for training in each enterprise as well as with workplace assessors and employees.
