LEARNING AT WORK WEEK

 Learning at Work Week is nearly here, it's from  Monday 15th of May to Friday 19th of May.  All the Essex depots are carrying out a variety of fun and engaging themes.  The 2017 theme for Learning at Work Week is informative & creative!

You can put this information to use in any way that adds value to your home and working environment.

Who can take part?

  Anybody can join in!

What opportunities does it provide?

Learning at Work Week is not prescriptive in terms of what you can do and how you should use it, instead it provides ideas and inspiration.  Whether you want to develop new skills to aid your mindset or challenge yourself, the decision is yours.

The Week promotes an inclusive approach and encourages the extension of opportunities to learn to all employees, especially those who may not currently participate in learning.

Why take part?

• Changing attitudes to learning and work. Positive!
• Positive perceptions at business and individual levels
• Stimulating and collating feedback, ideas and perspectives that inform future planning
• Drawing on employees own knowledge, passions and interests to create engaging activities as well as, wider sharing and collaboration in the workplace
• Greater recognition and an understanding of different ways to learn in the workplace
• Encouraging a broader perspective on how learning and development happens and how employees can take advantage of new ways to learn – from traditional classroom based training through social media to team meets for generating and sharing learning
 
• Bringing employees from different parts of the business together or partner organizations in to learn from each other, sharing best practice.

Greater awareness of learning, motivation, engagement which all enhances our work environment.

My input to Learning Week, focuses on horticulture and fitness.  These two areas can be therapeutic and offer a more balanced life approach; one which can also help deliver benefits within the workplace.  Both these topics can help to balance the mind and promote exercise as well as enjoying the outdoors.  Let's not forget it also allows the learning of new skills.
