Top 10 tips for running Successful Employee Workshops

  1. Create  an appealing environment - a light, airy comfortable venue and appropriate table & chair layout
  2. Offer the opportunity for groups to mingle before, during and after to assist in natural ice-breaking
  3. Offer refreshments throughout to ensure the mind and body is ‘on the job’ and concentration levels are high
  4. Provide plenty of breaks to cater for natural attention spans and allow time to absorb and reflect
  5. Use a range of stimulating media to structure the learning process
  6. Create workshop materials with a laser-like focus on the objective you are trying to achieve
  7. Train the presenters and facilitators beforehand and ensure their skills, techniques and knowledge are up to speed to maximise the workshop
  8. Capture the output and use that intelligence in future communications strategies - close the loop and don’t let the feedback get lost
  9. Keep to time and keep the agenda moving
  10. Provide plenty of opportunity to feedback during and after - verbally and/or in writing
