Need ideas for a training/seminar!

[Rowan Malone]

Our department's supervisor is going to retire late this year. I'm one of the two candidates that can possibly be chosen for that position. I've worked hard to get to where I am now, that is, department manager. I've worked lots of late hours, sometimes unpaid, just to make sure that my work is of the best quality and quantity.

The other department manager and I are being given a month to prepare for a training/seminar for the other department supervisors and managers.The group that we will be instructing has been divided into two. So that's one for the other manager and one for me. It wasn't specifically said that this will affect who will get the department supervisor position but still I really want to do my best.

Have I mentioned that I work in the HR department that's why we're in charge of the training, seminars and workshops?

Well anyway, my problem now is how I can make this seminar really worthwhile and memorable for the group that I will be instructing. What do you think is the best way to make presentations? Is it better if we hold the seminar outdoors or just stick with the conference room? Any suggestions, tips, advice?

Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to your replies

Are you allowed to go outdoors? If you are then why not have a team building after the seminar activity. In that way you can teach, learn, bond and enjoy at the same time

Great idea! I'll check if we can work that out.
Do you think it's a good idea to use something like these ones by HRDQ. I found them online when I was looking for tips. Do you think it'll be effective or maybe I should just make my own presentation and everything?
What about games? Our department supervisor never really liked playing games during seminars but I'd love to play some. Do you think it's childish?

Nah, those HRDQ ones look pretty naff; proper American-ised BS I bet.

And if you have to put this much effort into spamming a forum to shift them, they must be shite.

Hi, Rowane:) I used to work in Human Resource Department. and we commonly conduct an outdoor training to make it more worthwhile. It helps the employees learn while having fun with activities.

Any tool that will assist you with your activities will be good I guess

I think the most important is that everybody feel they part of a team and a bigger cause.

Use your Hr knowledge and help the team to achieve good things to getter and bring the team closer to each other.

We had a painting activity as a team building in our company. It was nice.
