Our unique training solutions and engaging delivery teach critical skill sets that lead to healthy corporate cultures and spur consistent innovation and execution.

01 FUN AND MEMORABLE IS WHERE IT'S ATBetter ENGAGEMENT.Ensuring learners enjoy every moment of training while being highly engaged is always a priority at Better Training. However engagement isn't just about having fun in the room. While fun is important the critical aspect of engagement is that it equals retention! Without this crucial element learners may have a good time but nothing much will change afterwards. Through innovative adult education practices, unique exercises and engaging facilitation learners have maximum fun while also being fully engaged. The result = learning is retained and utilised outside of training when its needed most!
|
02 IF IT'S NOT USEFUL IT'S NOT HEREBetter RESOURCES.Here's a question... How often do learners refer back to their training workbooks? The answer, which won't surprise you - hardly ever! Here at Better Training resources must meet key criteria, namely will they enhance learning and spur consistent innovation and execution before, during, and most importantly after training? If the answer is yes, they stay. If not, they're gone. In most cases this means workbooks are out, and instead standard offerings like desktop calendars, focussed worksheets and wearables (wristbands) are in. Crafted with ongoing use, visual impact and maximum accessibility in mind, Better Training's resources are, well... Just better!
|
03 MOVING FROM KNOWING TO DOINGBetter LEARNING TRANSFER.Research suggests that after only one week, newly learnt information is almost entirely forgotten, unless strategic and systematic content reviews are undertaken. It is certainly true that one of the biggest challenges with any type of learning is 'making it stick', that is, putting what has been learnt into practice (learning transfer). At Better Training this crucial but often overlooked aspect of training is thoroughly managed via an innovative blended learning approach (a mix of online/digital and in-room content). By book-ending in-room sessions with pre-training tasks and post-training challenges*, learners not only have a running start heading into training, but are systematically challenged to recall and utilise key content for 6 weeks afterwards. As a result of this consistent exposure to key content, learners achieve maximum learning transfer, develop new and robust habits and achieve new levels of performance.
*Standard across all solutions |
04 IMPROVED PERFORMANCE IS THE PRIORITYBetter OUTCOMES.In order to reach higher levels of performance and change how people think, feel and behave every day, key outcomes needs to be an ever present guide, i.e. "what do we want to walk out the door with at the end of our time together?" At Better Training post session performance (what will change as a result) is always the priority and thus every learning experience is measured against a single question... "How will this help us achieve our mission?" If the answer is, "it won't", or "I'm not sure" then the experience is altered to accommodate the specific needs and desired outcomes of the client. No exceptions! By keeping the big picture in mind and being agile with both the content and delivery of training solutions, Better Training consistently delivers better outcomes that lead to healthy cultures and spur consistent innovation and execution.

Online learning simplified
Innovative email-based learning.
---
Have your team engage in a series of content specific challenges designed to build knowledge, teach critical skills and spur consistent innovation and execution.

As a basic standalone option, or to complement our existing offerings, we have exclusive online solutions available. Learners will receive up to 12 weeks' worth of email challenges (at a day/time of their choosing) related to a specific solution, e.g. Emotionally smart! All challenges include a knowledge based mini activity or exercise, followed by a simple challenge designed to compel learners to transfer knowledge into action.
Our online options are kept short and simple for a reason. Most, if not all employees can use email, which makes ease of use a major feature of our online solutions. Learners can jump straight into learning something new, receive clear directions for how to put learning into action, and begin embedding new behaviours and habits all within 10-20 minutes per week.
If this sounds like a better more accessible option for online learning, you're right, it is!
