It is Learning at Work week from 18th – 24th May. This is a national campaign run by Campaign for Learning to promote lifelong learning at work.
rradar is a company with education running through its DNA; for us, learning is paramount, a key component of our mission to democratise the law and to maximise the potential of the people who work here.
So, how are we marking Learning at Work week?
Throughout May, we have been, and will be, bringing to life this year’s theme “Many ways to learn”.
This is a great reminder that learning does not only happen in classrooms or on courses – the more formal avenues of education – but also through personal experience, reflection, collaboration and those small insights at work – ‘lightbulb’ moments – that may come out of the blue but are so very valuable.
This spontaneity, individual relevance and focus underline that learning needs to fit real work and real lives if it is to be truly effective. That is why our learning programme takes a self-directed approach that centres short, practical learning content, highlighting the many different ways that learning already takes place.
Our approach is also an evolving one, adapting to feedback and individual experiences of what we offer. We will be welcoming viewpoints, listening to input and processing responses to understand how learning can make the biggest difference to both our people and our business. This will help make development practical, inclusive and effective.
This is a key factor because the most effective learning is shaped by real needs and real people. It works best when people have the flexibility to engage in ways that suit their role, confidence and workload.
How learning at rradar works
We know our success is reliant on making the most of the potential offered by our people, their skills and knowledge.
Our internal learning platform, rradar Academy, is a vital tool in bringing our broader Learning and Development strategy to life.
The aim of the platform was to provide a broad range of learning content, activities and tools that keep staff updated with the inner workings of the business, support career planning and skills development and also provide support for some of the life challenges that our people may encounter outside the workplace.
