Education at Work
The business owners who invest in this kind of training and education for their employees can count on a good return on investment. The critical message of this particular program helps everyone realize the risks and hard work it takes to build a business. When employees begin to learn more about business and investment issues, they can think more like business owners. Can you imagine what this does to the bottom line of a company that embraces education as part of it's culture?
In this particular workshop we teach the participants how to play the board game Cashflow 101. Developed by author and teacher Robert Kiyosaki, the purpose of the game is to get out of the "Rat Race." Players adopt a "professional and financial profile" they carry through the game. In moving around the board by rolling dice, players must learn and navigate myriad business and investment deals and opportunities. So by playing a game, players simulate real life by tracking their results as they go. The goal is make learning the business of business and investing fun! Fun at work. Work at fun.
Look at this way. I am sharing this because education should be a big deal at work. As the War for Talent heats up, employees are looking for more than a paycheck. One way to help employees find a deeper connection in the workplace is to offer education that means something to the employees. Education that can help them in life as much as at work.
How do you feel about education in the workplace? If you own a business, what measures are you taking to foster a culture of personal advancement and education? If you are an employee, what is your company doing along this line and what do you think of it?
As always, warm regards.
