Training days can be hectic. This is especially the case if you have several different segments of your business partaking in different training events at the same time. Organisation is imperative. This article should help you to make sure that you are ready for the big day that lies ahead.
First and foremost, you need to sort out all of the obvious factors. You need to find your training venue and you need to determine what day and time you want the event to take place. The best companies use reservation software so you can easily manage your venue booking. When you find a venue, you need to make sure that it is easy to get to. Make sure you factor in travel arrangements as well. If your staff are going to spend the entire day there and not go to work then select somewhere with good public transport links. If not, then you will need to arrange transport from your business, such as a bus.
These are all the obvious particulars which lay the foundations and put the groundwork in place. You can now begin to prepare your training rooms to make sure everything is ready. If you have hired the venue through a good company then you should see what possibilities they also have at your disposal. They may be able to help you with services, contacts, and advice.
So, what do you need to think about when determining your rooms? The size of each room is important. You need to make sure it is a comfortable size for those in attendance – this ensures of a more productive training day. Don’t forget to think about breaks. These are essential in guaranteeing the mind stays refreshed. Is there going to be catering offered? Does the venue have easily accessible restrooms?
One crucial area of room preparation relates to the seating. Make sure that the person giving the training is visible from all areas. Lots of rooms tend to have an annoying pillar blocking the way! Don’t forget to make sure that the furniture is comfortable. But, also make sure that it is upright and not too snug; it is a training day not a pamper day after all. Also strategically consider how the room is going to look. How is the seating going to be arranged? Think about this tactically; how the seating is going to be best suited to the day ahead and the training methods that are taking place.
Once you have covered all of these areas all you need to do is contemplate the training methods and procedures going ahead. This is something you are likely to have a hold over anyway. Nevertheless, it is worth pointing out that there are companies available who specifically cater to training days. They can help you with innovative methods of team building activities and alike. They can take over half of the day whilst you do the rest; or whatever is more convenient for you.
If you use this preparation guide then your training rooms should be more than ready for a busy and effective day of training ahead.
