Gareth Hill from Brenell Training being interviewed by Ian Graham of Swayed Greyhound about part Four of his:

How to Create a new starter induction blog series.

In this interview we talk about the tools and best practice when presenting your new starter Induction, the use of slides whether using PowerPoint, Keynote, Prezi or other presenting tools.

I’m glad I acted on a recommendation to work with Brenell, as Gareth has been fantastic to work with, always feeling like one of the team and never a supplier. His work drive is relentless, and his high standards have resulted in fantastic training programs. Gareth has worked on multiple intense projects at NOW TV and he has always risen to the challenge and delivered exceptional results on the training design and delivery. Over and above his work ethic, Gareth has a fantastic down-to-earth and personable style that means he gets on great with stakeholders and colleagues alike. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gareth’s training design and delivery skills and whenever we need to get some external support, he’s the first man I’d grab every time!

Brenell did a fantastic job of creating a fully-functional induction that included a week in-house training, plus time on site doing practical activities and a 5-week on the job sign off process with buddy system ending in a final assessment day. They created a full set of trainer notes, support material and preparation guides, with slides and a detailed workbook for all new starters. Brenell worked with all departments, getting to know our business, even going on-site with our engineers. They transferred that into a professional induction, supporting the delivery of the first few inductions and helping our team prepare to take it over to run it in-house. The induction programme far exceeded our expectations and we will happily recommend Brenell’s services to anyone.

Gareth and his team really took the time to understand what we were looking for, our culture, values and expectations. Brenell designed and created our new sales Induction so it aligns with our company perfectly and delivers a great customer experience. They have continued to adapt the training as we have grown our retail business across the UK. I trust them with our new teams, they deliver a quality professional approach and flexible ways of working. More recently, Brenell have supported our retail managers by producing some very specific development workshops for our retail management team, which is already showing some great results, I look forward to working with Brenell again.

Running a small business on your own means very little time to think about training, both individual and staff development. Brenell helped me enormously with one-to-one coaching sessions, building on my strengths and helping me improve my weaknesses. Brenell also implemented training for all of our 17 members of staff, the office is closely-knit and their bespoke training options worked very well. They have helped improved everyone’s confidence, including building in a much more efficient management structure. This, very quickly, made for a much more productive office with staff feeling much happier and keen to improve in every way. I will continue to seek Brenell’s help in the future and would highly-recommend their consultancy. They have always been very approachable, creative in their outlook and supportive, without being patronising.

Before Brenell Training did their work, our sales team was hesitant about the need for an external trainer. However, the way Brenell led the training and tailored their approach to our specific needs and characteristics has led to identifiable benefits and changes in the way we work. The teams are all now keen for more from Brenell and I have no doubt that the investment in this enjoyable training was worthwhile.
