Switch Employees onto learning
Often the people who don't actively seek out training and development opportunities at work have had negative experiences in the past. Engaging these employees in an informal taste of learning may help them to see the benefits and they are then more likely to readily engage in learning opportunities in the future. Tasters may prove invaluable, as the process of learning is often just as important as the outcome.
Highlight Informal Learning
‘Informal learning accounts for over 75% of the learning taking place in organisations today.’ (Conner, ML ‘Informal Learning’ - Ageless Learner, 1997-2005). This includes talking to colleagues and learning from them, talking to staff from other companies, watching demonstrations and reading trade magazines. The Mind Gym is a chance to recognise and value informal learning. Formalising ‘learning breaks' will mean that this form of learning is recognised and practised throughout the year.
Motivate Your Staff
The Mind Gym is a chance to offer employees a break from their daily working routine. Encouraging employees to take breaks away from their work station will help improve concentration and motivation and should leave them enthusiastic and wanting to learn more! An employee that is more motivated at work is likely to be more productive. Getting employees together and engaged in an activity that isn't purely work-related can help you to see colleagues in a different light and can, for example, serve to bring departments together who wouldn't usually communicate.
Develop Your Staff Training Strategy
The Mind Gym can become an integral and important part of an employer's staff training strategy. It is a great opportunity to consult employees on what they would like to learn and where they perceive the skills gaps to be.
