Abstract
There is a pressing need for contemporary organisations to boost their output by utilizing improved skills, technologies, and management techniques in response to the difficult productivity landscape. Similarly, the persistent significant job insecurity and high turnover in in present day organisations stemming from economic pressures, negative work environment, and unique compensation issues are leading to dissatisfaction with pay, career paths, and work environment, pushing valuable employees to seek for better opportunities. Likewise, employment inequities are underscoring the significance of positive psychological experiences and a supportive work environment in promoting higher engagement and organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB). While the need for prioritisation of production over workplace safety protocols provide the context for studying the values of workplace learning on employer-employee relations in contemporary organisations. The research included 15 employees from junior, middle and senior levels in finance, manufacturing, mining, education, and health organisations in South Africa. The results showed that workplace learning provides key strategies towards enhancing job satisfaction, morale, organisational citizenship behaviour and employees' net score (ENPS) engagement level, while fostering job security and employee retention.
