"I have been involved with hundreds of organizations since the COVID-19 pandemic and it is clear to me that learning is crucial for their survival, but also to build their resilience. I love this book. it has really become the standard text on building learning cultures in organizations. The first edition was good, but this second edition is even better. Highly recommended."

"If you want to help your organization become more agile, resilient and responsive in these volatile, uncertain, changing and ambiguous times, then this book is an essential read, not just for L&D professionals but for anyone who is committed to supporting continuous improvement. The book sets out the context and practical steps required to facilitate the emergence of a learning culture in an organizational context and has been my go-to guide and source of inspiration. The book is a treasure trove, packed full of practical advice, tools and case studies to help you on your journey towards a learning culture. Nigel shares his vast experience, research and practical knowledge to help you on that journey, and it is a journey of self-discovery for all concerned, but a journey well worth investing in."

"An authoritative, comprehensive, contemporary guide to learning culture, brought to life with real case studies. An essential resource for today's HR and L&D professionals and business leaders."

"In Workplace Learning Nigel helps us to understand what a 'Learning Culture' really is, the rationale, the benefits of it, and how to build one. Nigel's honesty and opinions shine forth combined beautifully with research, as well as his thousands and thousands of hours working with individuals, organizations and institutions globally. Nigel's examples and metaphors paint a clear picture of what is achievable when we step back from what we think we know and trust each other, and the power of unlearning what we think we know. A very easy read while being a must-read for anyone who works in Learning & Development, as well as anyone in a leadership or aspiring leadership role who wants to create a truly effective organization of people."

"I enjoyed the broad scope of Workplace Learning. It goes back to trace the origins of organizational learning and it goes around the world to seek out great examples. It is a book with authority and presence, and is the clearest explanation that I have read as to why a learning culture is more important in this turbulent and uncertain world than it has ever been. I believe passionately in this idea and have proved that it works. And if this book can help spread that message, then I am delighted to endorse it."

"Nigel Paine takes a systems approach to learning, which makes his recommendations eminently more likely to work for you. He has greatly updated what was already a perfect book by adding new case studies and an added comprehensive analysis of learning culture. Nigel is one of the great research translators. Certainly one of the top ones I refer to almost daily. He takes complex and sophisticated research studies and boils them down into readable, actionable prescriptions. Don't hire high-priced consultants. Just buy this incredibly valuable resource."

"Nigel Paine's Workplace Learning will become one of the most valued, referenced and quoted business books of the 21stcentury! COVID-19 has forced us into "figuring out" how to create a successful Corporate Culture. This must include continuous & innovative learning embedded in the daily workflow of all employees (who are now self-determined learners). This book includes it all - defining corporate culture, learning organizations -who's really "in charge", the L&D's "greats" (i.e. Senge, The Fifth Discipline), as well as illustrating how it can be done! The Skills of the Future are needed today and this is the book to help you figure out how to engage, educate & empower your workforce!"

"Paine takes the reader through the rigorous journey of defining a learning organization and culture all while providing strategies and concrete case examples. The L&D world is currently experiencing one of the single-most significant tests of organizational learning and their learning culture, making Workplace Learning a must-read for any learning leaders with a stake in creating organizational learning cultures."
