Why Learning At Work Week Should Matter To Every Business Leader

Let’s start May as we mean to go on in May! From the 12th - 18th May, organisations are celebrating Learning at Work Week - a national initiative that puts the spotlight on workplace learning and development. This shouldn't just be a date in our calendar for this specific week though as it's a powerful reminder of the role learning plays in shaping behaviour, culture, and ultimately, business performance.

At PDW Group we know that learning isn't simply about gaining knowledge - it's about transforming behaviour and building better habits.

Our unique experiential learning approach helps leaders, people managers and sales professionals embed new behaviours that drive long lasting results.

Our delegates have described their learning with us as life-changing - a testament to the lasting impact we help create here at PDW Group.

We work extremely closely with a wide range of professionals and organisations, including Training and Development Leaders, Business Owners, Managing Directors and CEOs: Department and Team Heads: Professional Services firms and Learning and Development professionals.

Whoever we are working with our goal is the same: to equip individuals and teams with the behaviours and habits that enable them to lead, manage and perform at their best.

What Does That Mean For You As A Leader?

Learning starts with you.

The best leaders see themselves as learners first.When you model curiosity, openness and a willingness to grow, you give others permission to do the same.

How Are You Demonstrating A Commitment To Your Own Development Leaders First?

Learning needs to be embedded, not an event.

While Learning at Work Week is a great catalyst, the real impact comes when learning is continuous and embedded into daily routines. Behavioural change takes time, reinforcement and practice.

How are you ensuring that learning isn't a one-off, but part of your culture?

Learning drives engagement and retention

Employees nowadays thrive for the opportunity to develop. By investing in meaningful, experiential learning, you're not only building capability but also showing that you value your people. That therefore enforces higher engagement, loyalty and retention.

As leaders we have the responsibility to create workplaces where learning is accessible, relevant and impactful. Our question to you is: What am I doing to help my people grow?

At PDW Group we partner with businesses to turn learning into action through powerful experiential development that transforms behaviours and habits. Many of our clients describe it as light-bulb changing training that creates lasting personal growth - and we would be more than happy to put you in touch with them to hear about their experience with us here at PDW Group first-hand.

If you would like to explore how we can support you and your organisation's learning journey we would love to talk to you.
