1 Why health and wellness matter

Health and wellness are not just optional extras or nice-to-haves. They are essential components of your professional and personal success. As a technical trainer, you face many demands and pressures that can affect your health and wellness. For example, you may experience stress, fatigue, burnout, anxiety, or boredom. These can impair your performance, creativity, motivation, and satisfaction. They can also affect your learners, who may struggle with attention, retention, engagement, or feedback.

Health and wellness can help you and your learners cope with these challenges and enhance your learning outcomes. According to research, health and wellness can improve your cognitive, emotional, and social skills, such as memory, problem-solving, critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and empathy. They can also boost your mood, confidence, resilience, and happiness. These are all valuable skills and qualities for technical trainers and learners.

Being able to have a healthy mental space translates to your training abilities. Training is a personal reflection, having a good balance will reflect and add validity and relatability to your training style. Talking about this balance also helps individuals to know that everyone has challenges and keeping a healthy balance reflects in whatever work you do.

2 How to assess your health and wellness

Before you can incorporate health and wellness into your technical training program, you need to assess your current situation and identify your needs and goals. You can use various tools and methods to measure your health and wellness, such as self-assessments, surveys, quizzes, feedback, or coaching. You can also consider different dimensions of health and wellness, such as physical, mental, emotional, social, spiritual, or environmental.

The purpose of assessing your health and wellness is to gain awareness of your strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats, and preferences and motivations. You can use this information to plan and prioritize your actions and interventions. You can also use it to monitor and evaluate your progress and results.

3 How to improve your physical health

Physical health is a key component of overall health and wellness, as it affects your energy, stamina, productivity, and quality of life. It can also have an impact on your mental and emotional health. To improve your physical health, you should strive to eat a balanced and nutritious diet, drink enough water to stay hydrated, get enough sleep to rest and recharge your body and brain, exercise regularly to strengthen your muscles and organs, and avoid or reduce harmful substances. You can incorporate these habits into your technical training program by setting goals and reminders, scheduling breaks and activities, providing healthy snacks and beverages, and encouraging physical movement and interaction.

In train operator training we provided exercises that could be done on a layover within 3 minutes. We gave them information to understand the link between a healthy active body and active mind contributing to their safe operation of the vehicle. The ability to drive/operate a commercial vehicle for 8+ hours a day with attentiveness requires a focus on a healthy body and mind.

4 How to improve your mental health

Another crucial aspect of health and wellness is your mental health, which affects your thinking, learning, reasoning, and decision-making. To improve your mental health, you need to stimulate and challenge your mind with activities such as learning new skills or topics that interest you, practicing existing skills or topics to reinforce your competence, applying your skills or topics to real-world problems, reviewing your skills or topics to consolidate your memory, and sharing your skills or topics with others to enhance communication and collaboration. You can incorporate these activities into your technical training program by designing engaging and effective learning experiences that use various formats and media, methods and techniques, and strategies and tools to cater to different learning styles, levels, objectives, needs, and goals.

5 How to improve your emotional health

The third aspect of health and wellness we will discuss is your emotional health. It affects your feelings, moods, attitudes, and behaviors, and also influences your mental and social health. To improve your emotional health, you need to manage and express your emotions such as recognizing them and their causes and effects, regulating their intensity and duration, communicating their meanings and intentions, and responding to others' emotions and expectations. You can incorporate these skills into your technical training program by creating positive relationships such as building rapport and trust with your learners, giving and receiving feedback, resolving conflicts, and celebrating achievements. Health and wellness are important not only for personal and professional growth but also for technical training programs. Incorporating health and wellness into your program can create a holistic learning environment for you and your learners while improving performance, satisfaction, and retention as a technical trainer. Ultimately, it will help learners achieve their learning outcomes.

Integrating health and wellness into technical training programs is not just a value-add but a strategic imperative. Fostering emotional health is a cornerstone of this integration. In our fast-paced technical landscape, emotional well-being is often overlooked but essential for sustained success. Incorporating mindfulness sessions, stress management workshops, and promoting a supportive culture can improve emotional health. By acknowledging the connection between mental and technical prowess, we not only equip professionals with the skills to excel but also empower them with the resilience to navigate. Redefining technical training, making emotional health a priority, and cultivating an environment where professionals thrive emotionally.

Technical training can feel like days or weeks of knowledge cramming. In my experience, learners can quickly become overwhelmed with the amount of knowledge, pace, and other requirements of their newly-forming skillset. When my team runs technical training that spans multiple sessions, we start each session with a mental check-in. We ask for a simple green/yellow/red indicator on how our learners are feeling. We ask them to provide context into their color. If necessary, we deviate from the training delivery schedule to accommodate learners who self classify as "red," giving them more one-on-one time with subject matter experts or simulation training to help boost their competence and confidence to the level of their peers who are "green."
