Hi everyone.I run a lot of workshops within organizations. They're great for connecting people, allowing space for questions, and inspiring teams. But here's the thing: I'm not convinced they're the best method of training staff in most cases.Don't get me wrong, workshops have their place and I enjoy running them. They create a shared learning environment, foster discussion, and can be incredibly motivating. However, they come with some significant drawbacks that we need to address.Key Challenges with WorkshopsFirst, let's consider the retention problem. Unless people immediately apply what they've learned in a workshop, they tend to forget it. Even if they do use the information right away, without regular application, that knowledge fades over time. It's just how our brains work.Then there's the issue of staff turnover. When employees who attended a workshop leave, they take that knowledge with them. New hires miss out unless you repeat the workshop, which can be expensive and logistically challenging.Speak
