Lunch and Learn: Creative and Easy-to-Use Activities for Teams and Work Groups

In a stress-filled, fast-paced, constantly changing workplace it is becoming a real challenge to provide all the training and development employees need to perform at their best. Shorter, focused, on-the-job training can help alleviate the problem.

Lunch and Learn is filled with ready-to-use activities designed for full-time trainers, managers, team leaders, supervisors, and anyone else who acts as a trainer within their organization. The activities are on-the-job learning sessions that explore targeted topics relevant to almost any team or group. Each of the 25 sessions is a short 55-minute learning experience that is based on the best principles of discussion and reflection, creative thinking, problem solving, and action planning. All the book's activities are organized in a step-by-step fashion and include everything a session leader needs to conduct a successful learning event, from discussion starters and activity handouts through suggestions for wrapping up the session.

Lunch and Learn is the ideal resource for employees who need to solve problems and learn while at work and for businesses with limited training budgets that need to support employee learning. The book also provides helpful guidance on planning, implementing, and evaluating a training session including suggestions for promoting the session, gathering supplies, and follow-up steps.
