Finding time to bring your team together can be tough. But, it is a crucial element of team success.
Teams need to spend time together without always being focussed on work tasks. Lunch ‘N Learn events can be a great approach to use for your team to learn and connect in a time efficient way.
Here are three ways to have a successful Lunch ‘N Learn event.
Cover light topics – For an event that is happening during a lunch hour, your topic should be light. Make sure the topic is interesting, relevant and worth-while for people to give up their break time to attend.
Decide on food options – Providing food and beverages for your team during a Lunch ‘N Learn is a big incentive for attendance. If your team is working remotely, you could have people choose a take-out option and cover the cost. For in-person events, you can have easy food options for people to enjoy while attending the session. Alternatively, you might ask everyone to bring their own lunch to eat together or suggest a pot-luck style during the session if providing food isn’t within your budget.
Make it Experiential – Hosting a Lunch ‘N Learn that allows participants to interact with each other in a fun, creative way will not only provide opportunities for people to connect but will also make the experience more enjoyable and the learning easier to remember. Using a lunch hour for learning opportunities can be a great way to bring your team together and it doesn’t have to take a lot of time.
