The Power of Micro-Workshops
Micro-workshops enhance learning by breaking down content into small, manageable sessions rather than lengthy workshops. Research indicates that shorter, repetitive learning sessions lead to better retention and understanding of material. These interactive formats allow teams to engage collectively and can be recorded for future reference or onboarding purposes. By adopting this method, organizations can invest in their team members' development in a more efficient and affordable way.
