If you look at any successful organisation they have the support of employee development as a core part of their culture. For these organisations it goes beyond professional or even personal development to offering learning opportunities that create increased energy, creativity and fun. Lunch and Learns are a venue to foster sharing and peer learning and are typically aimed at fostering cross-organisation collaboration and communication.
