One of my very first training assignments was teaching new employee orientation at Walt Disney World. That set the bar pretty high as far as fun at orientation. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to help create and teach other companies’ new employee orientations as well. Using what I’ve learned throughout the years, here are seven ways to make your new employee orientation more fun.
- Start with an icebreaker
- Tell stories that illustrate your points
- Use real life scenarios in activities
- Have giveaways to encourage participation
- Play relevant and fun games
- Take a break from the classroom
- Schedule guest speakers
