Learning at Work Week – ‘Shaping the Future’ 15 May 2019
As well as this week being Mental Health Awareness Week, it is also Learning at Work Week, which draws attention to the importance and benefits of learning and training in the workplace.
Learning at Work Week, which takes place every May, is organised by the Campaign for Learning, and this year’s theme is ‘Shaping the Future’.
All companies and organisations are invited to mark Learning at Work Week. All types and sizes of organisation take part including multinationals, SMEs, public sector organisations and government departments.
What do companies do for Learning at Work Week?
Many companies use the Week as a catalyst for change providing an opportunity to 'rebrand' or refresh learning and development, reinforcing the organisation’s commitment to staff development and celebrating learning that takes place all year round. The activities that companies run range from non-work related and interest-led activities through award ceremonies to business focused sessions. Learning at Work Week offers an opportunity to promote and deliver these in a way that is fresh, exciting and engaging – from panel sessions to creative workshops.
You can register for free and access online resources, advice, guidance and printed resources. For further information visit the Campaign for Learning website.

Common cause of stress and anxiety at work is workload 14 May 2019
As part of Mental Health Awareness Week, Acas has published research which finds that 60% of employees who have felt stressed or anxious in the last year attribute this to their workload.
Against the backdrop of a high-level vision for mental health, Acas commissioned a YouGov poll to find out more about individuals’ current experience of mental wellbeing at work, specifically what are the causes and reactions to stress and anxiety in the workplace.
The Acas workplace policy paper reveals some key findings:
• Two-thirds of employees (66%) have felt stressed and/or anxious about work in the last 12 months, with particular variation by age – 76% for those under the age of 35, compared to 54% for those aged 55 and over • Less than 1-in-10 (8%) say their organisation is ‘very good’ at preventing employees from feeling stressed and/or anxious about work
