Many learning<\/span> and development presentation topics are standard across companies<\/span>: leadership development, cultural competency and diversity appreciation, sexual harassment prevention, and onboarding. If you\u2019re looking<\/span> to expand your offerings, here are some presentation ideas<\/a> to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Training Topic Presentation Ideas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Professional Communication<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Different generations have different norms regarding what\u2019s appropriate when communicating in a professional environment. Standards also vary by industry, company<\/span>, and mode of communication. A primer on your company\u2019s expected standards of written, email<\/span>, text, and verbal communication will help get everyone on the same page. Address the basics but also touch on points like whether proper punctuation is expected in texts if emojis are appropriate in emails, and what fonts are ideal for your digital<\/span> signature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Giving and Receiving Feedback<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Whether it\u2019s a manager who regularly does performance evaluations or a new team member coming up on their 90-day review<\/span>, every employee needs to know how to give and receive feedback appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Emotional Intelligence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Emotional intelligence<\/a> is the ability to identify and regulate one\u2019s emotions and to recognize and respond appropriately to the emotions in others. An emotionally intelligent staff naturally cultivates a healthy workplace environment. Presentation ideas around this topic include self-assessments to identify one\u2019s level of emotional intelligence and exercises to improve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Public Speaking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Even if a job doesn\u2019t technically involve public speaking, nearly every <\/em>employee could benefit from public speaking skills. Whether it\u2019s speaking up to present an idea in a staff meeting, making<\/span> a sales pitch to a small group of executives, or giving an end-of-year team status<\/span> report, speaking confidently in public is an important skill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. The Intergenerational Workplace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are many ages represented in most workplaces, each with its own set of norms, expectations, values, and assumptions. Most employees need a little help to view employees of a different generation as an asset rather than a liability, so HR presentations<\/a> focused on navigating the intergenerational workplace can be very helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Customer Service<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Everyone needs customer service skills, even if they\u2019re not dealing directly with customers. Help employees understand who their \u201ccustomer\u201d is (even if it\u2019s an internal team) and how they can demonstrate top-notch customer service in every interpersonal encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Digital Literacy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

No matter how tech-savvy an employee is, there\u2019s always room for improvement. Presentation ideas include screen-capture tutorials of a software or technology tool using a presentation maker, social<\/span> media training<\/span>, or email<\/span> management. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Grit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Grit is a modern buzzword, but most people<\/span> don\u2019t have a clear understanding of what it means. Presentation ideas to encourage grit in your employees include goal-setting, perseverance, internal motivation, and re-framing failures for a positive purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Change in the Workplace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Change is hard. It\u2019s hard if you\u2019re the one trying to initiate it, and it\u2019s hard if you find yourself the \u201cvictim\u201d of it. HR presentations on workplace change can help make the process smoother and more successful for everyone involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Influencing the Workplace Culture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Even if an employee isn\u2019t a manager, they affect the overall workplace culture. Conduct presentations on being a positive influence, recognizing toxic employees, and how to cultivate a workplace environment that\u2019s healthy and enjoyable for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
