Team members also tend to find work more satisfying and enjoyable, which helps company recruitment and staff retention. Many us struggle when it comes to practical ways to encourage people to keep learning at work. It can help to build in time for learning, exploration and discovery into team/organization process but how can you get started? Perhaps more challenging, how can you keep learning initiatives going without taking on the admin yourself?\\ \\ Come to this workshop to hear some practical ideas of how you can get learning built into your team process. We'll talk about a variety initiatives including: Lightning Talks, Tech Academy for new starters, Coding Dojos, Conference Club and Gold Cards for research.\\ \\ \\ \\
