In this study, a content specific information display has been proposed to encourage
workplace informal learning and a field experiment will be conducted where the effectiveness of the
display is compared with that of conventional method in triggering informal communication or chats
between co-workers in an engineering project office. The increase in informal communications is expected
to foster an open and friendly workplace environment which is conducive to learning, enhancing
better collaborations and knowledge sharing. The content specific topics are also expected to encourage
workplace learning activities, be it via self reading or discussion with co-workers. In the long run, the
feeling of trust and connectedness coupled with increased competency is expected to help reduce the
numbers of workplace accidents caused by communication failure and lack of knowledge.
