Improve Your Employees Training Experience

I should have titled this short “under-rated training engagement tip“ because it’s a seriously under-rated tip that is so powerful.

Studying your own and your employees habits and preferences around personal development alone isn’t going to help you increase employees’ involvement and engagement into company offered training and development activities. However, when you implement what you learn, that’s when the magic happens.

I spent some time studying my own learning habits just this morning.

Here are 5 questions to ask yourself when interacting with any personal or professional development content:

1- What topics interest me the most + why? What is so special about them? Are they technical or more on the soft side? I realized I get attracted to topics related to the human behavior, change and productivity. *Who doesn’t like to have more done in less amount of time?
2- How do I like to learn? When do I look forward to the learning experience? For me, I realized that I like short F2F 1-4 hours trainings or up to 1h of online training. I like change of scenery & place and long breaks. I can’t sit on the chair more than 1.5 hours, it drives me crazy.
3- What was your worst training experience? Think about F2F and online.
4- What was your best training experience? Did you have several of them? Write down the experiences you liked. For me personally, it was a training without projector or screen, having 2-3 facilitators, not just one, being in very cozy lounge wearing jeans and T-shirt. When it comes to the content, it was just 100% relevant to my role and what I do on day-today-basis. That is it.
5- When I’m likely to implement what I learned during the training and why? What needs to happen for me to take the uncomfortable action?

The more you think about/learn how you learn and take action, the more knowledge you’ll have to take and implement & see results in your organization.
