My employer asks us to set aside "a few hours a week" to improve our skills... and I've been trying to train some of our new hires (mostly those who'll be maintaining my code) to read Perl Monks regularly, if not create an account and get seriously involved. We'll see how it turns out, but they're smart folk and ought to see the benefit.

Oh, and being able to say "ran into this problem, posted to Perl Monks, got a brilliant solution from merlyn, saved hours of time" in a weekly report was lots o' fun. :-)
