Reading has positive side effects on working life
We wanted to find out what kind of connections there are between reading and working life. The results were clear when we asked our members and employers about this: reading has positive side effects on coping in working life.

We want to inspire and support you to start reading, because literacy is also important in working life. That’s why we’ve put together lots of ideas to help you!
