It’s about that time of the year again, the summer heat is cooling off and kids are checking off their school supply lists before the new school year starts.
It’s also a great time for businesses to start checking off their lists to see what areas of employee training and development need a boost.
Here are some tips for reinvigorating your organization’s training programs:
Survey employees. What do they want out of the company’s training programs? What topics would they like to see? What would get them more involved?
Take a look at your budget. Where are you spending too much? Where could you be spending more? Which programs could use some financial tweaking?
Get creative. Try training naked or take advantage of the sunshine and enjoy a team building exercise outside. Find creative ways to get employees excited about training.
Refresh your training materials. PowerPoint looking a little dated? Books and training CDs getting a little worn out? Shop around for some new, fresh training materials.
Have fun. Find new ways to have fun within your training programs. Are there any new training games you’ve wanted to try? Or new, challenging team building activities you think would work?
Train the trainer. Turn existing employees into in-house trainers who can share their expertise with their coworkers. Not only will it save the company some money, but it can also help build teamwork.
