Problem

As a new employee at a The Light fx company, I was tasked with hosting my first training session for the team. However, I had no prior experience in conducting such sessions and was unsure of how to approach it.

After researching various methods and techniques, I realized that simply presenting information would not be enough to engage the team and ensure they retained the knowledge. I needed a more interactive approach that would keep everyone engaged throughout the session.

Solution

We decided to use fundamental techniques to make the training more engaging and interactive. We created a game-like environment where employees could earn points by answering questions correctly or completing tasks related to the training material.

The game included different levels of difficulty, which allowed employees to progress through the material at their own pace. We also incorporated team-based challenges that encouraged collaboration and communication among team members.

Impact

Increased engagement and participation from all team members during the training session.
Improved retention of training material due to the interactive nature of the session.
X% increase in productivity as a result of improved knowledge and skills gained from the training.
