Holding Successful Skill Building Events New York NY

By Jerry Reed


Unless you do something every day, you tend to forget some of the details involved. This is, generally, not problematic, but it can be disastrous in business. As the manager, you are tasked with ensuring that this does not happen to the employees you supervise and opting for skill building events New York NY, will help you ensure this happens.

There are many companies with planners who can organize this activity for you. If you plan to use one of these professionals, choose someone who understands your field of business, and shares your basic work principles. Alternatively, you could select individuals from each department and put them in charge of the organizing.

To ensure that what you plan covers the relevant topics and include activities that will be enjoyed by all, get opinions from your staff. Regularly interacting with your employees will make it easy for you to know what they like, and which activities they would participate willingly. Involving them in planning this activity, even on a small scale, will also make them more receptive to it because they will not feel like it is something the management is forcing them to attend.

Seminar and workshops are examples of sessions that can be used to enhance skills. However, most employees dread going for these because they are bland and involve lectures given in a formal way. To make your event not only fun but also something to be looked forward to, ensure you include some games or puzzles, and ice breakers. This way your attendees will not nap during the sessions and will be more likely to remember what was taught.

For these sessions, you do not have to involve only your employees. You can choose to team up with other small establishments. You can divide the topics and get a person from every business to teach something different. This way you get to learn from each other. Sharing the costs allowing you to increase the activities or even get things like t-shirts or goody bags, to give at the end of the event.

Once you have started holding these events in New York, NY, you need to create a follow-up plan. This way, you can hold them regularly, and keep adding more activities to them with time. This consistency will ensure that your employees are always at the top of their game making them more efficient, and in turn making the business more profitable.

Experience is the best way to learn anything, and therefore, try to attend at least two skill-building events before you volunteer to plan one. Since as an attendee you will have taken note of the things you enjoyed and those you did not, you will avoid making similar mistakes as a planner.

You do not need to plan something that has the same outline as a seminar. The order of activities can be as unconventional as you like. You will, however, need to ensure that the purpose of the event is discernable and that you do not go against the principles of your company. Try to avoid planning these activities around the holidays or on weekends, because people may feel like you are infringing on their time off.
