Whether occasionally or regularly, you may need to organize training within your company for newly recruited employees or simply to upskill your staff.

Whatever the type, training is the perfect opportunity to unite your teams by offering them a setting other than the office, thanks to the multitude of existing venues that can meet your needs and desires. In addition, training is a powerful lever for company growth and should not be neglected.

So why not opt for a seminar for your training sessions?

A golden growth lever for companies?

An employee who is developing skills is a gold mine. Indeed, rather than recruiting a new manager, developing an employee internally allows both to:
• Save on external recruitment and therefore save time and... money!
• Avoid unpleasant surprises with an external profile
• Preserve the company culture
• Reduce the turnover rate, in fact training is sometimes more effective than team building to show your employees that you care about them...

In addition, according to a study sponsored by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), "employees who have received training are 3 to 5% more productive than others". Training therefore has a real boost effect on your employees.

As you will have understood, training has many growth advantages for a company. That's why taking your teams to a seminar for the occasion increases your chances of being more effective and thus satisfying them more.

A seminar leaving room for reflection

The training seminar is an opportunity to offer your teams a break while continuing to stimulate them. Indeed, it has the possibility of offering a resourcing framework and outside the routine of work for the employee. The change of scenery has many benefits, such as promoting reflection and thinking about things differently.

A larger space, for example, can give your teams a new lease of life and allow them to think bigger or feel more comfortable expressing their ideas. A neutral ground is often an opportunity to put aside the hierarchical atmosphere that can exist in the office and thus allow everyone to speak more freely and spontaneously. In addition, changing the setting can have the benefit of reducing stress among your employees.

And then… the more minds are freed, the more likely it is to find relevant solutions to future professional challenges. Because yes, it is in these moments of exchange and sharing that true cohesion is created and good ideas emerge.
The employee will feel valued to see that their ideas or feelings are listened to and taken into account by the other participants.
