In people-centred roles, we’re often spinning multiple plates — juggling strategy, stakeholder relationships, day-to-day operations, and the growing expectations of employees and leaders alike. And the landscape is only getting more complex. Hybrid working, AI, shifting employee expectations, purpose, wellbeing, and retention — they’re all competing for attention.
So how do you make time to build new skills, reimagine your approach, or rethink the experience your people are having at work — when you barely have time to pause?
This is something we hear often in our work at People Lab. It’s also one of the reasons our sister company, The EX Space, has launched a more flexible way to support busy people professionals.
Introducing Pay-As-You-Go Learning at The EX Space
The EX Space is an on-demand learning and community platform focused on Employee Experience (EX). It brings together practical tools, templates, bitesize learning, and expert masterclasses — all designed to help people teams build better experiences at work.
Until recently, the core tools (learning and PowerPacks) were only available through a subscription. But in response to what we’ve all been hearing across the sector — tighter budgets, smaller teams, bigger challenges — The EX Space has just launched a pay-as-you-go option.
Now, people professionals can join for free via the essentials membership, explore the full catalogue, and then purchase just what they need — whether that’s a toolkit, a short course, or a full EX masterclass.
Designed for People People (Just Like You)
This new approach is built for those moments where you need something fast, practical, and relevant — without the need to sign up to another platform or commit long-term.
✅ Need to redesign onboarding or launch a champions network? Grab a ready-made Power Pack
✅ Want to skill up quickly in personas or EX for line managers? Choose a Bitesize course
✅ Want to go deep into the full EX process, strategy and/or design? Take a Masterclass
It’s a small change that could make a big difference — especially when you’re short on time but big on ambition.
Meeting People Teams Where They Are
In our recent work — whether it’s been large-scale EX design projects or workshops on human-centered approaches — we’ve seen how hungry people teams are for support that’s accessible, practical, and timely.
According to the latest Gallup data, only 23% of employees worldwide are engaged at work. And engagement isn’t a standalone issue — it’s deeply connected to experience, trust, clarity, culture, and leadership. All things that sit within the people function’s remit. But to shift the dial, we need more than awareness. We need capability. We need confidence. And we need easy access to tools and ideas that can help us take action.
That’s what The EX Space is all about — and this new way of accessing it is just one way we’re removing barriers to progress.
Want to take a look?
Whether you’re early in your EX journey or you’ve been leading the charge for years, this new approach will help you (or your team) access the right resource, at the right time.
