| comes to corporate team building is that most | | | | the employees learned? Do they know any more |
| companies expect employees to retain certain | | | | about the company than they previously knew? |
| things about the company but they do not teach | | | | Do they have sure fire methods up their sleeve |
| them how to do this. Plus when teaching the | | | | to generate more sales? Or are they coming |
| employees they are utilizing methods that have | | | | away from the meetings no better off than they |
| not worked for years. If they had, there would | | | | were before? |
| not be the need to repeat them over and over. | | | | This is not a problem that only exists at certain |
| Have you ever noticed that most of these | | | | levels in the corporate world. There are many |
| meetings are referred to as training? What is | | | | levels that the manager or companies are |
| wrong with this picture? Training involves showing | | | | concerned with needing corporate team building |
| someone how to repeat something that you are | | | | training. However, the training that is being offered |
| doing. Do you really want every sales person you | | | | at any level is the same. It may be a more |
| have doing the same thing you are doing? Of | | | | advanced type but it is basically the same training |
