When faced with mandatory training, instructional designers are often tasked with making training sessions engaging and relevant. Required training specifically, is usually met with more groans and less enthusiasm.
Are you curious about what transforms snooze-worthy training into learning experiences?
I've shared three tips below.

Many employees are trying to complete training in hectic work schedules and demanding projects. The first step towards creating an engaging learning experience is recognizing audience needs and what they hope to gain from the training. Also, ensure that the training delivery effectively meets the training needs.
Defining Clear Learning Outcomes
Adults want training to be worth their time, clearly understanding what they will learn and how it builds on what they already know. Making training objectives clear with defined learning outcomes is critical.
Questioning the Necessity of Traditional Training
It's worth exploring if repeating the same annual training just to fulfill requirements is necessary, or if there's a more creative and engaging approach. This often means looking beyond conventional materials to discover new solutions.
Conclusion
Effective training in the workplace is possible! The key to turning snooze-worthy training into an engaging experience is more than just checking a box. It's about a careful approach that truly improves participants' skills and knowledge.
