Learning in action: How Hostinger fosters a culture of curiosity

  • by

At Hostinger, learning isn’t just a buzzword – it’s the fuel that drives our innovation engine. In a tech world where yesterday’s breakthrough is tomorrow’s baseline, we don’t just keep up with trends; we embrace learning as a daily ritual that powers both personal and collective growth. 

Whether it’s taking time during the workday to develop new skills or participating in world-class conferences and training sessions, I believe learning is seamlessly integrated into every aspect of Hostinger’s operations, driving both company and employee success.

As we continuously learn from and are inspired by other companies’ best practices, we’d like to share our top tools and practices for fostering a thriving learning culture.

Why is learning essential? 

It’s no secret that building a thriving learning culture is crucial for organizations to stay competitive. It fosters curiosity, empowers employees to take ownership of their growth, and drives innovation.

A strong learning culture also attracts, develops, and retains top talent with high-performing mindsets. Mercer’s 2024 Global Talent Trends report highlights that organizations focusing on continuous learning, upskilling, and reskilling are more likely to retain employees, especially as people seek environments to support skill growth and career advancement. This aligns with rising expectations for personalized, work-integrated learning opportunities.

But how do you move beyond simply having the right elements in place – study days, a broad learning curriculum, or dedicated budgets – when people aren’t actively engaging in reflective learning, practicing new skills, or seeking coaching or mentorship? I believe that at Hostinger, we succeeded with “walking the talk,” as the commitment to growth is ingrained in our cultural DNA.

Learning as part of the culture

Learning is woven into our core principles, notably in Learn & Be Curious, but you will also see elements of continuous growth in others. Through Freedom and Responsibility and Ownership, we empower employees to take charge of their professional growth. Through Hire and Develop the Best, we emphasize that learning is a continuous and mutual process. 

We offer numerous resources and support and encourage individuals to identify their own learning needs, actively seek opportunities to grow, and balance study and full-time work

Furthermore, this learning culture is reinforced by strong managerial support. Managers lead by example: they engage in training, share learning experiences across dedicated channels, and prioritize time for their and their teams’ development.  

A diverse learning toolkit

Our learning culture is built on four key pillars: growth initiatives, training, social interactions, and on-the-job development. In each pillar, we always consider different learning preferences, whether through book recommendations, peer discussions, e-learning, or recorded sessions.

From office bookshelves and policies like Mastery Fridays, which allow employees to dedicate the needed time to learn new skills, to insights from industry giants like Amazon or Netflix, we promote continuous learning across all areas. Here’s how we foster learning with each pillar:
