Companies can do a much better job requiring employees to read assigned books that they think will help people learn things they need to learn or develop a new skill. Many engineers are not great readers in the context of breadth - - no how Jane Austin can make you a better person for most.
Books@Work - a Cleveland-based non-profit helps companies with the process. They operate in five states but not in Texas - finds professors from nearby universities to lead workplace seminars. Workers read a book each month and meet as a group each week with the professor. For a five-month seminar with 15 to 20 participants, Books@Work charges $10 to $15 per session per employee.
