The Power of Lunch and Learn Events

The Power of Lunch and Learn Events

Yesterday I had a meeting with a client and was also speaking at an event. On both occasions, the challenge of bringing people together again in the office and at work was discussed. Since the pandemic and lockdown many people have re-assessed their work life balance.?

  • How many people have got lockdown dogs and seen the benefits of not commuting on busy trains, roads and tube trains??
  • How many employees have chosen a job based on flexible working hours and being able to spend more time with their family?

But many leaders and business owners would love to have their teams back in the office at least once or twice a week. Of course it makes leaders feel more secure about having their teams visibly in the office. However, there are many other benefits:

  • The human connection of being with others in the room
  • The chance to share spontaneous ideas and inspiration from others
  • The sense of belonging to a community?

At both of these occasions we discussed how events or providing a purpose for employees to be in the office is essential. Whether it is to share the vision of the company, celebrate successes; even reflect on projects or pitches that didn’t go so well.

But providing an opportunity for learning and professional development when in the office is a high-value option for motivating staff. The delivery style is interactive and facilitates learning and sharing ideas. Showing? you value your talented employees and giving them the opportunity? to acquire new skills, mindset and positive attitudes.

Our topics all relate to developing a positive attitude and growth mindset: invaluable during more challenging times. These include:

  • How to be Positively Disruptive
  • How to demonstrate credibility
  • Raise your visibility for career success?

And others..

Lunch & Learn events have been around for a while Susan. I wonder if lunch & learn events that foster cooperation and team work across departments rather than within departments are more successful in the longer term?

You're right, Susan. This is a hugely effective way of training staff. Not only does it have all the benefits you mention but this short session training can be a motivational way to get staff engaged and trying new skills.
