Diversity Training in the Workplace

Training adults in the workplace can be challenging at the best of times. The very mention of workplace training is enough to prompt a collective sigh from most of the workforce. It’s not that training isn’t important – it just has a tendency to be rather dull. The problem being that when training is boring, stressful or for any reason unenjoyable, those taking part take very little away. That is, other than negative connotations in general. By contrast, training that’s enjoyable can be infinitely more effective. From active participation to retention of key information to general motivation for future training sessions, a little added focus on enjoyment can make a big difference. However, converting workplace training into fun isn’t always as easy as it sounds.
