Learning at Work Week 2025 runs from 12–18 May, and this year’s theme, ‘Get Connected’ focuses on the idea that through connecting with colleagues and fostering a collaborative culture, we can build understanding, skills and knowledge.

1. Create Dedicated Space
Creating a professional environment, even at your kitchen table, helps focus your mind, reduce distractions and increase your confidence.
The Toucan Connect Webcam is a must-have for any working space, as it’s easy to incorporate anywhere thanks to a universal monitor mount and flexible mounting options.
