The Power of Play
Games have an innate ability to capture our attention. In a busy workplace, keeping learners engaged during employee training is half the battle won!
‘Gamification’ is the practice of incorporating game mechanics like points, achievements, and levelling into a training experience. In this article on our LinkedIn page, our Health & Safety Trainer Jodi explains how she gamifies her courses to reinforce key learning points and increase engagement.
Customer Service at Tamar Crossings
Last week our trainer Chris Holl delivered the first in a series of bespoke Customer Service training courses with Tamar Crossings which will be taking place every week over the next 3 months.

Chris was a very engaging and enthusiastic trainer. I do feel that a lot of useful discussion was had and further conversations were ignited by the training.

Start-Stop-Continue Review
Have you heard of a “stop-start-continue” review before? It’s a simple activity to help you reflect on your work habits. We find it really helpful, in fact, we use it at the end of many of our courses.
The idea behind this activity is to demonstrate mindfulness by thinking about what actions you should stop doing, what new actions you want to start, and what's been working well that you want to continue. It should take about 5 minutes to complete – perfect for a bit of Friday Focus!
