At Interplay Learning, we are continually inspired by the creative ways our customers leverage our platform for employee growth and development. One standout example is Weinstein Properties, which has amplified its approach to training with a unique initiative: Interplay Learning Day. This bi-annual event highlights the innovative spirit and commitment to training excellence that defines Weinstein Properties, and we hope their story will inspire you to explore new ways to integrate Interplay Learning into your training programs.
A Day Dedicated to Learning and Growth
Weinstein Properties has dedicated an entire day twice a year to Interplay Learning. Held in the spring and fall, these events are strategically timed to prepare their maintenance staff for the upcoming summer and winter seasons. By prioritizing seasonal training, Weinstein ensures that technicians are equipped with the relevant skills needed to tackle the challenges of the months ahead.
Engaging and Immersive Training Experience
On Interplay Learning Day, all maintenance staff receive their regular compensation to come to work and immerse themselves in Interplay’s courses. They have the flexibility to choose whether they want to enhance individual skills or participate in team-based learning sessions. This flexibility allows for a personalized and dynamic learning experience, catering to both personal growth and team development.
Technicians can select courses that align with their specific needs, whether it’s brushing up on plumbing knowledge or gaining new insights into HVAC systems.
Building Team Spirit: Learn, Bond, and Eat
Weinstein Properties has also cleverly integrated team-building into their training day. Dubbed “Learn, Bond, and Eat,” this segment allows participants to enjoy lunch together, fostering camaraderie and a sense of community. This informal setting encourages team members to share insights and experiences, enhancing the overall learning experience.
Expanding Participation: Managers Join the Day
The success of Interplay Learning Day has even caught the attention of Weinstein’s managers. Their growing interest led to an expanded program where managers now participate alongside maintenance staff. This inclusive approach not only reinforces the importance of ongoing education but also strengthens the bonds between different levels of the organization.
Celebrating Success and Encouraging Engagement
At the end of each Interplay Learning Day, Weinstein Properties encourages participants to submit videos and photos of their training activities. These submissions are compiled into a company-wide video showcasing the collective effort and enthusiasm for learning. To add a fun and motivating twist, all participants are entered into a prize drawing, with rewards ranging from Interplay Learning swag to Visa gift cards.
Inspired to Innovate?
Weinstein Properties’ Interplay Learning Day is a prime example of how our platform can be used creatively to enhance employee development and foster a positive company culture. We encourage you to consider how you might integrate similar initiatives into your own organization. The possibilities are endless, whether it’s a dedicated training day, team-building activities, or manager involvement.
Thinking outside the box and prioritizing continuous learning ensures your team remains prepared, motivated, and connected.
