2026 L&D trends.
Tony believes that the true purpose of L&D is to create real behavioural change – not just tick boxes.
But as we head into 2026, the question is: how do we make that happen in a world that’s evolving faster than ever?
Here’s Tony’s view on where the focus should be and what he believes will dominate the conversation.

Trust in feedback.
As part of our journey towards creating a feedback culture at PeopleUnboxed, Jo discusses one of our key learnings: Trust.

At the heart of it teachers and L&D facilitators all have the same desire, to help people grow and succeed, but the “how” can be worlds apart.

What flexible working really means.
Life doesn’t always fit neatly into 9 to 5. Especially when you’re juggling multiple roles, studying for a new qualification and preparing for the arrival of a lively puppy
People often assume flexible working just means working from home. But for me, it’s about far more than that. At PeopleUnboxed, it’s about being trusted to work in a way that suits me, my energy and the realities of my day-to-day life.

Diary of my work experience.
We’ve had the pleasure of welcoming a work experience student to the PeopleUnboxed team, and what a fantastic addition they were
One of their final projects was to write a blog reflecting on their time with us – and we think it perfectly captures the energy and insight they brought to the team. Read the diary in Kloe’s own words…
