Personal Development Activities
KSL Training can design a selection of bespoke personal development activities as part of a range of self managed learning programmes for your employees, each individually crafted by our professional UK based training consultants. Undertaking a self managed learning programme will help your employees develop key skills and knowledge that are vital to your business success.
The range of activities offered by KSL Training fall into three areas:-
- Reflective activities to help people consider their strengths and pinpoint specific areas of personal development
- Practical activities that individuals can implement to help them develop personal skills and knowledge at work
- Personal development questionnaires to review individual capability level in this skill area. These can be given to a colleague or team members for some constructive feedback to the individual
Benefits
These personal development activities provide employees at all levels in the organisation with:
- Simple, quick and cost effective learning solutions
- Bespoke tools that focus on key skills or competencies
- Encouragement of focused discussion and feedback on personal development between work colleagues
All of these personal development activities also lend themselves to being utilised with other learning options.
This can raise individual's knowledge or skill further, such as the use of self-study resources e.g. DVD, video, CD, book or audio packages.
Many of these personal development activities are also ideal for follow up with a coach. Coaching provides the added benefit of:
- Testing the learning
- Increasing the knowledge or skill further
- Providing feedback
- Considering ways of applying the learning
