Need to Solve Problems
With so little time to address problems or issues in the workplace, many participants
welcome the opportunity to have dedicated periods in training during which they, and
others, can brainstorm potential solutions that will make their jobs easier. They enjoy
a chance to come up with alternate answers to issues. This is especially gratifying if the
solution adds significant value to the workplace, team, others, or the learner’s personal
life.

Realization of Relevancy
When training is clearly related to the workplace, participants often feel a sense of ac-
complishment that comes from recognizing that what they are learning or experiencing
has a direct link to their lives and jobs. Material that is pragmatic and not just theoret-
ical is seen to provide a purpose for the learning.
