In the previous edition of our newsletter, I discussed how to effectively communicate company values to build a strong company culture. Today, I want to take it a step further by focusing on a key aspect that has a direct impact on the success of any company – employee engagement in training and development initiatives.
📈 So how do you effectively increase employee engagement? Here are some proven methods:
Storytelling: Use storytelling in e-learning courses to better engage employees. By introducing a narrative that ties in with the subject matter of the course. employees can better identify with the content being conveyed, and this promotes better understanding and recall of the material. For example, compliance courses can be based on scenarios that show real ethical situations that employees may encounter. This will allow them to get into the roles and better understand the consequences of non-compliance.
Microlearning: Provide your employees with access to information in short, intensive doses, ideal for busy staff. Microlearning is particularly effective in training courses that require ongoing refresher training, For example, in a course on Cyber Security. With short but regular modules, staff can learn new skills or recall relevant information without having to commit to large blocks of time, which are often a barrier to regular training.
Missions and Challenges: Introduce missions and challenges in gamification-based training courses, increasing employee engagement by introducing elements of competition and achievement. For example, in a health and safety training course, participants can be tasked with developing new safety procedures based on an analysis of actual work accidents. Completion of such missions can be rewarded with points, which can then be exchanged for benefits in a cafeteria system, which could be extra days off, vouchers to shops or access to special courses. Such a system not only motivates employees to participate regularly and actively in training, but also creates an atmosphere of healthy competition and cooperation.
Improving team engagement through modern training strategies
Increasing employee engagement requires continuous and consistent action. The introduction of modern training methods, such as storytelling, microlearning or gamification, can significantly increase employee interest and participation in development programmes.
It is crucial to adapt these methods to the specifics of the company and the expectations of the team, so that everyone feels valued and has the opportunity to make a real impact on their working environment. I hope these tips will increase engagement in your organisation and help you to build a strong team, ready for the challenges of the modern labour market.
📊CASE STUDY
We were faced with the challenge of creating an unconventional educational project for one of our key clients – Totalizator Sportowy. The project was designed to teach employees about compliance and ethics, but in a way that was much more engaging than traditional training methods. The client, already having our platform used for onboarding, expressed the need to extend it with a new interactive educational ‘game’.
