Getting Engagement

Active Team Training with Engagement is the key to quality training.  Engaged employees own the process and produce results. Your job is to get your employees to have a conversation that they need to have. 

1. Writing/Processing for introverts – Introverts need to have the time to process before we ask them to engage in the conversation.  Normalize processing time before team discussion.
2. Collecting as a team – Index cards are your friend.  Ask the team to answer a question. Team writes it down, turns in their answers.  Facilitator reads answers.
3. Sharing as pairs – Team discusses in pairs about the questions.  Rotating who they talk to for each question.
4. Sharing as groups – Team discusses in small groups about the questions. If they discuss in small groups, it builds their confidence to share as a team.
5. Optional: Give questions as part of the meeting announcement so people can think on examples
