Creative ways to learn at work at no cost

Learning at Work Week is celebrated from May 18-24, 2026, focusing on the theme ‘many ways to learn’. Learning is crucial for workplace thriving, a concept developed by Gretchen Spreitzer in 2005. Many organizations struggle with learning due to budget cuts, but numerous low or no-cost options exist to foster development. These include reading, writing, peer coaching, mentoring, job shadowing, and reflective practices. Emphasizing creativity and collaboration can transform workplace learning and improve overall performance and resilience.
