4 Ways To Make Training Sessions Less Of A Chore Corporate training is mandatory in every office, no matter how big or small. However, these sessions are almost always met either with groans or a kind of stoicism. And understandably so. To employees, training sessions are a chore that they are subjected to once every few months. These sessions are rarely welcome as many view it as a forced activity that detracts them from their actual work and a wasted hour where little is learnt.
As opposed to popular belief, the dreaded can be made fun if only the trainers designated for the job incorporate employee-friendly activities within the sessions. The complete potential of these important sessions can be realised only when the employees take an interest in what they are being talked into. Trainers too feel the
added pressure of teaching a class whose attention is constantly drifting and this is not how things must be run. Designing sessions in a manner that employees look forward to attending them is key for these to succeed and meet the goals they set out to achieve. Training, as we know is extremely crucial as it helps in enhancing the employees’ skills for better productivity which consequently results in expansive profit gains. Making it fun for everyone involved goes a long way in contributing to the continued success of these sessions. In fact, there are corporate training certification programmes that aim to incorporate innovative methods of training in their courses to better equip the trainers. Following are some of the many ways in which the element of fun can be seamlessly integrated into the training sessions:
Create GroupsCreating groups consisting of individuals of varied personalities will make learning all the more fun. Group activities can range from project completion to brainstorming ideas. Not only will this build relationships between employees, introduce a streak of competitiveness that is welcome in the corporate sphere but would also create a much needed team spirit that makes work less of a chore.
Encourage InteractivityA healthy interaction between employees and trainers and between employees themselves can work in the favour of the company. Organise mock scenarios which facilitate interaction. Encouraging interaction can bring forward grievances, queries and even bring forth novel ideas that can contribute to the progress of the company. Integrate make-belief situations and problems for the learners to solve as this helps in applying these same solutions when they are faced with an actual crisis.
Introduce IncentivesWhat better way to lure employees for the training session than by promising incentives? Turn the session into a competition that rewards employees for their brilliant performances. Certificates, badges, medals and even vouchers are great ways to encourage employees into attending the training sessions. Incentives imply that the employees’ efforts are being acknowledged and this urges them to up their performance. Do you feel the need to create an upbeat and positive atmosphere in the office? Incentives, should then be the way to go.
Make The Content Short And CrisLong winded lectures on how one must behave and perform in the workspace are not welcome, neither are they enticing enough to hold the learner’ s attention. Trainers must thus ensure that the sessions are short and the content is crisp and lucid. Shorter sessions have the tendency to hit the points home hard and prove beneficial for the employees. These condensed course of studies will also leave no scope for the learners’ to deviate as these would be over before they know it. Pack a ton of information while planning sessions and make training fun again.
