It's great to showcase the great things you are planning for Learning at Work Week 2024! Let us know your plans!.

 

--------------------------

 

We have a huge variety of webinars from the basics of BSL, Inclusion and Diversity and the London School of Economics. We're hosting "A Day in the Life of Cabin Crew" courses and we have our mobile flight simulator experiences for colleagues to experience life in the air. We even have content from the Red Arrows detailing how they use learning to improve their air displays! We're also focussing on wellbeing with roadshows and links to personal and financial health. 

 

We are very excited to be getting involved with Learning at Work Week for the first time here at Lenvi. We have a variety of events taking place throughout the week, to really emphasise the power of learning. This includes sessions on helping colleagues save for the future, top IT tips, enhancing communication skills and focusing on colleagues wellbeing. There will be something for everyone to get involved in and feel empowered from. 

 

We are a network of 39 schools established exclusively in disadvantaged areas, therefore we understand the impact that a culture of learning can have on lives. That's why we've extended our Learning at Work Week into a month-long event! We aim to ensure all our staff can participate in our planned activities. We've chosen a superhero theme to encapsulate the theme of learning power. Throughout May, we’ve scheduled various workshops covering AI, child development, coding, the natural world, Excel, networking, and creativity. We're involving students from our schools to teach us new skills and have introduced gamification by using bingo cards to incentivise learning and increase the chances of winning prizes. Our events are a mix of in person and virtual, so everyone can participate. Additionally, we encourage teams to thank colleagues for opportunities to learn through our innovative 'pay it forward' activity. 

 

We are building on the success from our 2023 learning at work.  Based on participants feedback we have invited back speakers and are introducing new activities including watercolour painting introduction, brain teasers, wellbeing content,  a cyber-attack simulation exercise as well as a company treasure hunt. 

 

We have invited a range of external VIP speakers for Learning at Work Week.  Tricia Sail, who won last year’s BBC's Race Across the World will talk about how she achieved this, given that she is partially sighted. We have Devon Air Ambulance coming along and a Dartmoor National Park Ranger, to talk about a typical day. We also have  a re-visit from a local Alpaca Farmer who challenges everyone's thinking! Internally, our own Tech Manager will walk us through the Digital Switchover and Rob, the deputy CEO and vice principal at Exeter College, will share in knowledge on leadership success. 

 

By hosting Learning at Work Week, we aim to cultivate an environment of continuous growth and development aimed at enhancing employees' skills, knowledge, and well-being. Through engaging activities and initiatives our employees will be encouraged to seek new knowledge, share insights, and contribute to a dynamic flow of information across Policy Expert. Activities will include workshops about nutrition to support wellbeing, how to prevent burnout plus how to stay active whilst sitting at your desk. Some of our amazing employees will be sharing their talent and skills around topics such as how to illustrate or write a book as well as a number of lunch and learns for cross department knowledge sharing.     

 

We have a variety of exciting initiatives in the pipeline, including scavenger hunts, cross-team idea sharing, and sessions on the latest technological developments in our industry. Additionally, we'll host external talks on AI and mental well-being. To accommodate multiple time zones, we're extending our event over two weeks. This will allow us to host several global events online throughout the period, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to participate.

 

Here at Fleet Mortgages, we are putting our strapline ‘Everything starts with a good conversation’ at the forefront of everything we do, emphasising positive connections across the business and with our customers. We’ll include a variety of team building sessions which will be a chance for everyone to have fun and get to know one another. We are excited to welcome a guest speaker from Guide Dogs to share their inspirational story and explore why creating connections is so important. Finally, we are going to have a Bingo night to raise money for charity, connect and have some fun! 

 

Following a really successful first Learning at Work Week last year, this is our second year of joining LAWW. We'll have a wide range of activities which will pull on expertise from within the business, such as improving our knowledge of Excel, PowerPoint, photo shoots and cash flow management. This year we’ve invested more external speakers who will run sessions on subjects such as Ecommerce, financial wellbeing, Jo, the founder of The Happiness Club will be helping us understand and build on our resilience and the wonderful Yamien, the mum of one of our employees who will talk to us about Muslim festivals whilst doing a cooking demo.

 

Our Learning at Work Week 2024 focuses on offering all NES colleagues' opportunities to access learning aligned with our 7 organisational capabilities within our Organisational Development Plan. These capabilities are Collaborative, Leadership, Inclusive, Learning Organisation, Teamworking, Workforce Data and Digital. As our organisation supports flexible and hybrid working, our Learning at Work Week will be held virtually. There will be over 25 online learning sessions offered throughout the week, as well as asynchronous content and additional resources which will be shared with colleagues daily. The learning sessions will include a mix of information sessions and workshops delivered by internal and external speakers. 

 

 

 Konica Minolta, Business Solutions UK, is again celebrating Learning at Work Week. We are promoting the benefits of lifelong learning, encouraging our colleagues to share, collaborate and explore the range of resources and learning available. We’re hosting a week of themed days, providing a mix of internal talks, workshops, activities and masterclasses, which we hope will offer something for everyone to get involved in and provide a platform to explore range of opportunities around learning and development. 

 

At Keyloop we will dive into Learning at Work Week and unlock learning power through the magic of storytelling! Immersing our employees in sessions that inspire, educate, and transform. This week is our gateway to a world where narratives fuel growth, innovation, and connection. We hope to share stories, weaving wisdom and experiences into the fabric of Keyloop’s learning culture. From anecdotes of triumph to lessons learned, each narrative ignites curiosity and sparks dialogue. We have something for everyone from Keynote Speakers to Doodle Challenges, from Design Thinking to How to make Toast!Find out more about Keyloop here

 

At Metricell we love to learn. We encourage staff to embrace the week and our sessions are designed to enrich everyone’s learning within the organisation. We love bringing in external hosts as well as showcasing our own staff’s knowledge and skills. The week is well received and enjoyed both locally and internationally using a selection of in-office, remote and hybrid sessions. This is our 5th year running and our sessions will include a presentation on the Effective Use of AI, British Sign Language Taster, team building activities and cooking classes. We aim to finish off the week with a relaxed Friday to help employees come together and get to know each other better with a party and friendly competition! 

 

We are advertising the event all across the organisation, involving Network Groups and iMatter. We are making sure that we have a diverse content, not only connected to work practices, but also allowing to dedicate some time to staff well-being.
