Positive aspects first:
+ The two lecturers responded very well to the change in our agenda and our need for discussion.
+ Both lecturers seemed authentic and dealt very well with the tense atmosphere and sometimes sharp comments.
What I did not like:
- The training was not tailored to our company, our level of knowledge and our needs. As a result, it seemed 'off the peg' and was of almost no use to me personally.
- It took 40 (!) minutes for the actual training to start. The time beforehand could well have been used for administrative tasks. In a room with some of the company's most expensive employees, this is too much time that could have been spent more usefully.
- The aim was to conduct discussions, but only 60 minutes were spent on this. There was no demonstration to the group and no demonstration of how to deal with cases of hardship, for example.
- There were inadequate answers to questions (e.g. "What can I do if the employee locks himself out?" -> "Off work from the first day would be a solution here"), the answers were not practical enough, with examples and comprehensible for everyone.
- The use of media was insufficient. The flipchart was far too small.
- The task was not variable enough and not challenging enough.
- Really important content, such as determining differences between absence due to motivation and absence due to illness, was not explained. Neither were possible cases of hardship (one employee had several miscarriages, one employee received a terminal diagnosis) - how do I deal with the situation and what do I have to do for myself as an FC?
- The foreword to BEITraining talks about people as a race.
- The handout is misleading. Ex: Very clear announcement: "This is not the way to go on here!
- The lecturers' specialist knowledge was inadequate in many places.
- The example with the rat bite seemed more like an afterthought "I would do it differently now" than the actual intention.
