This is one of the pillars they will identify with the most.
Are you ready?
The most effective training courses use teaching materials customised for each student. However, learning conditions are just as important: the environment plays a key role. At work, few factors can influence the environment as much as a manager or leader.
Helping the stars align
Leaders are the best people to create the perfect synergy between students and training. They have an overview of the programmes and can explain why learning is important, especially in terms of content, deadlines and length of training. Leaders make employees feel valued in their teams and within the company. Their involvement and support help the stars align, engaging employees in a crucial way right from the start.
Nothing motivates students more than the involvement of leaders. This includes increased responsibilities, promotions and pay rises. This is where human relations and encouragement play key roles.
One of the central roles of the leader is to encourage behavioural change, to be able to create the perfect balance between the sense of cognitive reward and the student's receptiveness to constructive feedback.
Checklist
Here are some tips that managers can adopt to improve employee engagement in training:

· Take the course before the employees to give their point of view
· Give constructive feedback to your team on a regular basis
· Implement a coaching system
· Planning formal and informal team events
