Some companies let employees work from their home offices, but with Peerspace, anyone can work from somewhere exciting and new. An art gallery, lounge, mansion, studio, or warehouse could be your office for the day. Plus, you can host any corporate meeting, training, or event in the venues available. Just input your event type, budget range, and any amenities you may need, and browse your local area for venues that can accommodate your employees and the activities you have planned. Training is a necessary part of work, but it doesn’t have to be dull. Make training something your team can look forward to with these staff training ideas.
These ideas are especially crucial as businesses of all kinds operate in a post-COVID-19 world. Some of these ideas are classics, while others take into consideration that a lot about your business has likely changed in recent years. And because of these changes, how we welcome new team members (and even how we retrain current ones) is different. We’ll discuss it all ahead!
1. Bring in a guest speaker
Instead of relying only on internal employees to lead the training, consider booking guest speakers who are experts in the areas in which you want your team to improve. They can tailor a presentation just for your company and provide fresh ideas and insight into the topic at hand.
Find speakers through the National Speakers Bureau; research past TED Talk speakers or check if any thought leaders or authors in your industry on LinkedIn are available to hire for speaking engagements. A special guest will help keep your staff engaged and interested throughout the training. If you choose to invite one, you may want to take extra care when selecting a caterer for lunch. This way, you can welcome the speaker and make them comfortable at your office.
2. Take the training outside of the office
A simple staff training idea that can switch things up instantly is hosting the course in an entirely new space. You can book a local event venues, such as an art gallery, cafe, loft, lounge, or creative space, on Peerspace. Just make sure to confirm that the space has enough tables, seating, and outlets, and good internet access. There are even catering options if you contact the Concierge service, so you won’t have to worry about getting back to the office in time for lunch.
