THINKING BUSINESS
a blog by Chris Barrow

Quarterly workshops


Birmingham this morning and the 4th of 7 workshops to be delivered by Sarah Buxton - her HR Masterclass, covering every aspect of employment legislation from hiring to firing.


You would think this a dry subject, but delegates have been unanimous so far in praising Sarah for her content, as well as her speaking abilities.


I keep introducing Sarah as "the mine-detector and bomb disposal expert" - you get my drift.


Each time I've sat at the back of the room (admittedly working) but with one ear on proceedings, and each time I've picked up some nugget of information that escaped me beforehand.


Which has me reflecting that training is one of those "never-not" activities - repetition is the key to embedding knowledge and skill.


Two questions for you to ponder this morning:


  • When was the last time your team were trained?

  • How often is that training repeated, refreshed or enhanced?


Membership of The Extreme Business 100 provides that automatically, of course, with varied workshops every 12 weeks throughout the year.


p.s. the other regular feedback is that team members enjoy the banter in the car, on the train, as they travel to and from the venue - top tip - get your training off-site.
