Dear Friends,
Need support from you.
I have to conduct a 3-day training session on TEAM COHESION (Team Building + Engagement) for a client. It will be a classroom + field activity session. Group size is 22, English speaking, 'industrial sales' background, middle management participants.
With an objective to bring in fresh insights, I need your valuable inputs & advice:
Can you please suggest:
- What topics must be covered?
- Any specific games/activities you could advise?
- Any HR Model on team cohesion that you could recommend?
- Any other ideas? Links/Content?
I thank you for your valuable time and expert advice in advance.
Best Regards

Dear member,
End-result of the training programme, whether for soft skills or any other subject is:
a) To reduce operational expenditure or to reduce any other cost
b) To increase or decrease some ratio
c) To reduce the turnaround time of some process
d) To reduce the consumption of resources
To attain the above-mentioned end-result(s), I recommend you talk to the Head Sales or CEO of the company and identify what could be the goal of the training or what change they would like to see six months from now that is around 31st Mar 2019 or one year from now that is 30th Nov 2019. Once you are clear about the goal, then decide about the topic.
Based on the title of the training programme, deciding about the topics or modules is akin to adopting Bollywood style. It is ok for the film of Karan Johar or the erstwhile Director of the Marathi films Dada Kondke to decide first the title of the film and then draw the cast, story, dialogues etc. The approach is incompatible to employee training.
Of course, one may strive to adopt this result-oriented approach provided HR from the client-side is serious about measuring the effectiveness of the training. If HR is too “busy” and does not have time to measure the training effectiveness (as such for most of the programmes, they do not have), then all that matters is the physical engagement of the participants during the training programme. The other two engagements, mental and intellectual, can take a back seat.
Thanks,
