Datadog's Paris office recently held its first-ever "Learning Week" to foster a learning-oriented culture, providing fun, engaging, and relevant experiences for employees to explore various interests and learn new skills. The event aimed to go beyond standard training by allowing everyone to propose session ideas and take the lead in teaching others, making participation opt-in and offering multiple sessions on various topics. Around 20 different sessions were offered, covering a wide range of formats and topics, including firsthand experience in solving technical challenges, developing individual skills, and showcasing how other teams work. The event was well-received, with 87 percent of participants opting in to at least one session, and employees provided valuable feedback on what kinds of learning opportunities would be most valuable in the future, which will shape upcoming initiatives such as providing full access to e-learning platforms and building personalized training opportunities.
