Workshops are held over one or more days, and include a variety of discussions from which attendees can choose.

What will you gain if you send your employees to a seminar?

Networking opportunities

People who attend the same seminar share similar interests. This will give your employees the opportunity to meet other professionals who are developing in the same field as theirs.

Additionally, if you have representatives at seminars popular in your field, you automatically get the opportunity to present your company to new people. Therefore, before your employees leave for the seminar, ask them to take with them a solid amount of business cards and brochures describing your company's activities.

Team building

When you send members of a team to a seminar, this can play the role of team building. Communication outside of the office environment will allow them to see themselves in a different light. And the information they receive will catalyze the birth of new and fresh ideas related to their work routine.

Employee recognition

Many of the seminars are held in luxury hotels. So if you send an employee to such a seminar, it is a sure sign that you appreciate and recognize their work.

Communication

Seminars are a comfortable and welcoming environment to improve employee communication skills. Seminars improve listening skills, make people more open to other perspectives and help them overcome their fear of making contact with strangers.

New knowledge

Workshops are a great way to increase employee knowledge. They are particularly suitable for people who do not have the time or do not want to undergo longer-term training.

Motivation

It's easy for people to lose motivation in going about their daily routine. Workshops give them the opportunity to get away from their usual activities and delve deeper into a topic of interest to them. This can lead to an increase in their motivation, productivity and dedication to the profession.
