Use Learning at Work Week 2024 to showcase your great work (and remember to develop yourself)

At Let’s Talk Talent, we think that Learning at Work Week is really important as an event that you can highlight and showcase the value you can add to your organisation.

We have built several resources to help you make the most of Learning at Work Week within your organisation, and during the week itself, to help you develop as HRs.

When is Learning at Work Week 2024?

Learning at Work Week 2024 will be on 13th – 19th May.

What is the Theme of Learning at Work Week 2024?

This year’s theme is ‘Learning Power’. The LaWW site itself says: “Learning is the ultimate tool, providing the opportunity and the means to change and enrich our lives through understanding, knowledge and skills, and see the world in a different way.  

How can we support inclusive learning at work, so we all have access to learning and the power and opportunities it brings? How can we identify learning that will help us grow, develop and reach our goals?  What are the key building blocks which enable us to learn through life? How can we build positive attitudes and mindsets to learning?”

For last year’s Learning at Work Week we created a checklist below to help you plan for a great learning at work week 2024.

What was the focus of Learning at Work Week in 2022?

2022’s Learning at Work Week theme was Learning Uncovered!

The Campaign for Learning highlighted that this Learning at Work Week would focus on deepening our understanding, knowledge and engagement in lifelong learning by exploring: 

  • Why it’s important to be lifelong learners and support lifelong learning 
  • How we can initiate and support lifelong learning as individuals and in our work communities 
  • The opportunities and benefits that lifelong learning offers for work and life 

There were three Learning Uncovered strands:

  • Uncover learning potential,
  • Uncover hidden powers and,
  • Uncover new dimensions.

To help support that approach, we’ve decided to support the wider HR community realise their potential.

So this year, to maximise the impact, we are providing a range of L&D focussed resources to support HRs just like you during Learning at Work Week.

As well running a range of events during Learning at Work Week itself, so that you can spend some time developing yourselves.
