If I ever become a manager I was hoping to actually institute a rule like this as a policy for people I manage. Obviously an emergency or deadline would take precedence. But I thought it would generate a lot of good will and respect if you actually gave people dedicated hours out of their week (and ideally funding or access to learning materials) specifically to work on a project of their choosing or take a class / learn material of their choosing. Would not have to be work related at all (although of course it could be) and there would be no expectation of return what so ever.
