Dear Amy,

I am rather surprised to note that you want to conduct a "lecture style" classroom training. Unless you add activities, to reinforce the theories, your training will be ineffective. In addition, unless the participants have opportunities to put the theories into practice, the training programmes become ineffective as well as unpopular. Let me give you an example, a number of supervisors and managers were sent on a Time Management training programme and were issued with expensive diaries to keep. Keeping the diary was not mandatory. The mangers had hardly enough work to keep them occupied for 20% of a 8-hour day. So, the whole training and the expensive diaries were pretty useless. Same was the case when they were sent on a management course where they taught all about Balance Sheets, and Profit & Loss Accounts. The company had not issued any such document to managers in its history.

Please also see New Supervisor Training and Supervisory Training Modules and Courses where you may get some ideas. Also see Google
