Invest in an offsite location and maximize the impact of your training
Companies spend a lot of money on training their employees, and rightly so. Investing in the development of your staff is invaluable for the company, the team, and the individual themselves. However, are companies doing enough to ensure they get the maximum return on that investment?
How can you maximize the impact of training?
Studies have shown that the effectiveness of training can increase by 15 to 20% if it is well-organized. The right location is a crucial element in this. “Remember that time in the Flemish Ardennes…?” Bet everyone is immediately hooked on your story. The location where something takes place plays an important role in the storage of information. An emotional connection with the environment helps you store and remember information better.
What are the benefits of an external location?
Training that takes place at an external location is highly beneficial. People who are taken out of their daily environment are more focused, can work undisturbed, and are more creative. This, in turn, enhances the productivity and learning effect of the training. Group cohesion and trust, skills necessary for good teamwork, are also significantly strengthened. Therefore, an external location makes training much more effective.
Invest more and get even more in return
Organizing training at an external location comes with an extra cost. That’s a fact. But that extra investment will give you an inspiring location that can increase the effectiveness of your training by 10%. In other words, the extra cost is more than compensated by the greater return it provides.
Those who invest in the development of their employees will reap the benefits later. But those who also invest in the location of that training will significantly increase its effectiveness.
