June 26, 2018

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.

Brenell and their team have a wealth of knowledge and experience and they have always delivered training solutions which have had a direct impact on sales – as well as motivation and skills development – increasing revenue and giving us a return on our investment. We have recommended their services to our own customers and partners – if your business is looking to develop its people then you should definitely consider Brenell Training. They always deliver more than what we expect and make training fun and enjoyable.

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.

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!

We initially brought Brenell Training in to support our Retail Roadshow – a 6-week project to deliver product updates and refresh knowledge on Sky+HD, Sky content and Broadband & Talk to all our Sky salespeople. They really knew their stuff and had researched our business to really be able to relate to our salespeople. Since then we use Brenell on a monthly basis to design, create and deliver some of our core training. Using Brenell over the last 2 years has enabled us to expand Sky’s training to all our partners and retailers and ensured salespeople across the UK understand all of Sky’s products and how to sell them effectively. Brenell have been integral to our growth over the last 2 years and we will continue to call upon them to support our business and training programmes. We highly recommend their services to anyone – they deliver on time and are flexible in their approach, no job has been too small or too big for Brenell and we thank them for making our job easier.

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.
