I have found very poor team work and low morale in the staff when I arrived. They were bored of the training schedule that was repeated over the years and doing their tasks as a automatically. I noticed that their level of life skill training was minimal, and then inspired by a colleague who did out of the box training with their staff. So in January I started a training with them and was blown away by their enthusiasm.
I have put together topics for the whole year and asked them if there were anything they would like to learn, so far I have had little response but am sure this will change in time. Topics planned for the year can be made available but it may vary and input from the staff is valuable, as it is their needs I would like to address.
Currently training happens every 2 weeks, though some months there is more time. Materials used are exercise books and printed exercises/ pictures. Activities may involve flowers, ingredients to bake etc.
