Courses usually start at 9 AM and run until 4:30 PM or 5 PM. I like to give delegates a mid-morning and afternoon tea break and a break for lunch. Sometimes delegates want to cut their lunch break from an hour to half an hour to finish earlier, especially on a Friday, without sacrificing the quality of their training experience.

My “WeTrain Employee Empowerment Training Workshops” will give your delegates cutting edge soft skills training that will empower and give them the tools to perform at their peak after attending one of our 1-2 day workshops.

In the unlikely event that you are not completely satisfied with the results your delegates get from the “WeTrain Employee Empowerment Training Workshops”, you get a no-hassle, prompt and courteous refund.

If you’re not 100% satisfied, then neither am I… it’s that simple!

Our training programs are designed to involve all our attendees. Let’s face it; there’s nothing worse than a boring training course! Attendees don’t get the full benefits of the course unless it’s dynamic and involving. So yes, content is paramount, but we believe a fun learning environment will ultimately lead to much better retention of the information presented.

It is essential to pack a course full of various techniques to keep the group interested and involved and cater to all the different learning styles. In our courses, we give delegates short chunks of content followed by a variety of learning tools such as discussion, activities, games or group work. It is important that the learning “sticks.” Our courses are dynamic and fun as well as informative and practical.

There are three main learning styles: visual, auditory and kinesthetic. We use PowerPoint and demonstration for the visual learners, stories and discussions for the auditory learners and exercises and activities and games for the kinesthetic learners. Regardless of your delegates’ learning style, we have designed our programs to cater for all three.

We take time to discuss learning objectives and expectations with the decision-maker well before the course runs. We like to establish exactly what training needs the delegates have and what training they have had previously. We then tailor the course outline specifically for the group’s level and experience. Good trainers can also read their audience on the day and are flexible enough to change the content and delivery, when necessary, to make sure the delegates get both what they want and need out of the session.

This depends on the course being run and the staff’s relationship with their manager. If it is a good, open relationship, then it is often a great idea to have all staff attend together so that the manager can keep reinforcing the learning after the training session.

Sometimes, having a senior manager attend makes the delegates feel they are being judged. This can cause them to be apprehensive about giving honest feedback and revealing any issues they are having at work. A successful approach is to run a workshop for the managers, so they have an appreciation of the new skill set their employees have been armed with.

The best training is continuous, so delegates feel they are being developed on an ongoing basis, and this sets a wonderful foundation for learning and seeing positive behavioural changes in the workplace. It would be ideal to run training once a month. If this is not possible, a full day of training every quarter is recommended.

Delegates are asked to complete a full evaluation form and personal action plan at the end of every training session. Our team then tabulates the results to assess the ratings given for training content, trainer’s delivery, ability to handle questions, venue etc. If appropriate, managers can also see the action plans that delegates have committed to implement and help them continue putting their new skills into practice.

Our trainers also follow up with the managers a few weeks and months after the course to see how the delegates are going. Delegates also have ongoing email access to the trainers after completing the course.
