Is a lunch and learn format suited for your team? Use this to find out: https://dhbstrategy.com/lunch-and-learn/
When people hear “Lunch & Learn”, they often assume it means employees sacrificing their lunch break for training. But that’s not necessarily the case.
A Lunch & Learn programme can simply involve setting aside 45–60 minutes on a consistent basis to help your team build the skills they need to perform at a higher level.
For many organizations, it offers a practical way to reduce the overhead costs associated with traditional training while still investing in people development. More importantly, it creates continuity in learning, giving employees time to apply and implement what they’ve learned instead of relying on one-off workshops that are quickly forgotten.
Whether you’re trying to strengthen communication, leadership, teamwork, customer service, or other critical soft skills, the right approach to training can make all the difference.
The question is: Would a Lunch & Learn programme actually work for your team?
We created the DHB Vision Strategists Lunch & Learn Assessment Tool to help organizations evaluate whether this approach aligns with their culture, operational needs, and development goals.
This needs assessment tool can help you decide if a lunch and learn program is suited to your team to meet developmental needs.
