One effective strategy involves fostering an environment where every voice matters. For instance, implementing round-robin discussions can ensure everyone contributes without feeling overshadowed. However, challenges such as implicit biases may arise, making it essential to conduct bias awareness training for all participants. Encouraging anonymous feedback can also empower those hesitant to speak up, creating a safe space for sharing diverse perspectives. By integrating these methods, we not only enhance inclusivity but also cultivate a culture of respect and collaboration that enriches the learning experience for all involved.

One great way to gather feedback that truly represents all participants is by using breakout group discussions. These smaller, more intimate groups allow participants to feel more comfortable sharing their honest thoughts. Each group can assign a representative to summarize their feedback, ensuring diverse opinions are captured. Additionally, incorporating real-time polls or interactive Q&A sessions during the training can give participants a chance to voice their feedback while keeping the energy high and responses transparent.

Feed back forms, ask for areas of improvement, ask for any new or missed areas that should be covered. Sometimes you could ask if training met expectations

Gather feedback from all the attendees, after the training asked each attendee to rate the training for example find out if the training met their expectations, if participation and interaction was encouraged, was the facilitator knowledgeable on the subject and well prepared and further ask them to share other recommendations and comments.

First we need to understand why trainees avoid giving real feedback. I feel the primary reason is they feel they will be judged if internal they may be targeted due to trainer being senior might get offended or sometimes one does not know how to explain the feedback. So once we know the same we can redefine our feedback taking mechanism to make it more comprehensive and effective. It may be anonymous or comfort can be given to the trainee or it can be given to someone neutral who can then consolidate and share with trainer etc Even one to one session can be done or in a small group. It is critical right feedback is obtained and taken in right spirit for further improvement
