Discussion:
Breaking the Ice
Congratulations! Your boss has just given you the task of helping organize the training for new staff that are coming in next week for their orientation. She mentioned that you will be expecting 10 new employees for the training. And she wants you to be in charge of the icebreakers, exercises, and games in the training room. She also added that you will be looking at a diverse group of new employees to be working with that day. So put your thinking cap on!
Based on what you have learned so far in our course, the test, and from experiences you have had leading up to this point. Create the following that you will implement in the training of the new staff.
1. An opening icebreaker to get the group engaged and ready to start their training
2. Two exercises to implement following key discussions that are had during training, and
3. One game to conclude the training session that involves all the new employees and covers key terms, points and events about our company
Remember, these new employees are part of the future of our company. Getting them excited from the start will only lead them to be more for the company and help us produce and higher quality of work.
You should use at least one outside resource, which could include the test book, paraphrased or quoted material, or any useful resource you find. Regardless of which you choose to include, any and all should have accompanying APA citations.
