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

We include information on external events, however this should not be taken as an endorsement. Please always check the details with the provider.

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

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. 

 

 

During Learning at Work Week, we're thrilled to spotlight our learning initiatives, aligning with this year's theme of Learning Power. Our L&D department specialises in crafting award-winning learning experiences for all colleagues. During LAW week, we are hosting daily virtual sessions covering different topics from retail campaigns to professional growth, supplemented by internal articles and quizzes on our LMS, The Hive. On May 14th, we are taking over our head office and distribution centre, hosting drop-in sessions with L&D experts. With laptops, snacks, and guidance, we're committed to fostering continuous learning. We believe lifelong learning empowers individuals, teams, and our organisation to evolve and thrive.

 

One of our goals at Ultimate Performance is to Attract, Nurture, and Develop world-class talent. Our focus for our Learning Week is, therefore, to empower personalized learning while enhancing knowledge sharing across the business. We are hosting a Dedicated Learning Time Challenge - colleagues will be able to design a simple and personalized learning initiative with the guidance of the L&D Team using dedicated learning time provided by the business. We will gamify this with a leaderboard where exemplary learners will be showcased and recognised, and the top learner will be awarded a trophy. This will inspire diversity and personalization in learning. We will also offer Brown Bag sessions hosted by the L&D Team and Senior Managers in the business, further enriching collective knowledge and strengthening collaboration. Along these lines, L&D will host a workshop to give business teams the knowledge and tools to better collaborate with L&D to drive learning and growth. Finally, resources such as our Learning Library and on-demand, LMS-based content will be available for self-study.

 

 

During Learning at Work Week, Horizon Leisure Trust are thrilled to offer our teams a programme of training focused on the power of learning about and better understanding our business.

We’re also delighted to be joined by British Blind Sport who will deliver their groundbreaking “Visual Impairment in Sport Workshop” and in addition to this we’ll be exploring our own Health Hub by offering free health check passes to employees along with tasters of our GEX and Thrive programmes to really get to know our products. Learning at Work Week, will be run in conjunction with Mental Health Awareness Week, combined with getting active, we’ll also be giving our staff the opportunity to get up and close with some feathered friends through the support of FAB Falconry, along with taking a break away from our screens to do some mindfulness crafting.

 

 This is the fourth year celebrating Learning at Work Week at Castle Trust Bank and we are excited to connect with our colleagues and drive our positive learning culture. Having gone through some changes in our L&D department over the last year, we will be sharing our plans to enhance L&D at the bank as we continue to evolve and grow, including showcasing a teaser of our new LMS platform. Our main event for the week is a Learning Fair, where we will have a number of committees and teams hosting a table to connect with all colleagues, where they can share their own updates, be on hand to support colleagues with queries and development opportunities, mixed in with some fun mini activities. This Learning Fair is a great opportunity for our L&D team to gain feedback from colleagues on what else they’d like to see from the team. Continuing with the themes of power to connect and engage, we are delivering some bite size training sessions on Communication Styles, giving colleagues the opportunity to learn with others across the business. We will be rounding off our week with some ‘ask me anything’ sessions with members of our ExCo, to inspire attendees with their career journey, and will announce the winner of our ‘Most Inspirational Colleague’ award.

 

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.
