More on Training ActivitiesManagement can add value to fun activities at work by using techniques that touch the head, heart, and skills at the same time. This holistic approach demands an strong foundation of theory (for understanding), personal learning (for developing emotions), and practice (for developing skills). There are many ways to meet these objectives, but a structured activity is one of the most convenient and powerful ways.
A structured activity is a vehicle for learning. Its structure permits a focus on objectives or an area of concern. The experience part engages the individual. Since the objective is to educate several senses at once, it is extremely important that the individual is fully involved.
Unfortunately, structured experiences have become commonplace and may become filler activities that management and trainers use to simply entertain rather than inform and teach. The ubiquitous nature of structured experiences undermines their power as a learning tool. Like any overused activity, efficiency is lost unless great care is taken to select the "right" learning device and position it for maximum effect. Contact HRDQ for assistance selecting the right training products for your needs.
The right activity can produce great results. With carefully designed training activities, participants can dive into a topic and come up with solutions. They can then take what they have learned and apply it to their own work outside of the activity. There are many different kinds of activities, but they all have one thing in common – they are essential tools for employee learning and development.
