Do you have a post-training evaluation or survey?

Yes! We give clients the chance to evaluate our session with a post-training survey. The survey is short (two minutes) and anonymous, with some metrics and some open-ended questions. We recommend embedding it into your engagement platform so all engagement data is centralized on one platform.

How do you maintain engagement in remote sessions?

We maintain engagement by limiting the number of participants, using tools like Mentimeter, breaking out into groups for discussion amongst peers, and using adapted versions of our group activities.
