Rent a training room with OfficeRiders

dynamically organize the space to stimulate participants.

Whatever the nature of the training, choosing multiple and flexible spaces will inevitably benefit everyone because it is an excellent barrier against gloom and lack of motivation.

The layout of the tables The popular school classroom layout is not the only possible training session solution.

It is, however, an option for "lecture" periods when one is simply trying to deliver information to trainees. To encourage exchanges and discussions, we ideally favor U-shaped setups or meeting tables, which offer the opportunity to use computers if needed, provided that the appropriate furniture is available (folding computer cabinets, allowing screens to be raised and lowered, for example). It may be preferable to define islands, facilitating work in small groups to conduct workshops. Again, even if these moments do not represent 100% of the training time, there is nothing to prevent favoring a flexible layout and moving the equipment at the pace of the course's different stages.

The need for fluidity and freedom of movement

For the training to be of full benefit to them, it must not be experienced as a constraint by the participants. This is why, whatever the arrangements are chosen, it is essential to think about the freedom of movement that each person must enjoy. In concrete terms, one should not feel stuck in a chair all day: this will not be beneficial for either concentration or motivation. Chairs or armchairs must be mobile enough so that you are not "stuck" to the wall or table. Moreover, even for the most theoretical training courses in which no movement or practical workshops are planned, it is necessary to schedule breaks during which everyone will be free to go and get a coffee, stretch their legs, rest their mind for a few minutes. And if the simple fact of leaving one's chair to go outside implies waiting for everyone to clear the space, one adds constraints that will not gather all the ideal conditions for successful training.

Use all the necessary materials to transmit the knowledge in the right conditions.

Information will stick in people's minds much better if presented attractively, in various forms. When renting a training room, the organizer must check that the speaker(s) will be able to use a wide range of media to diversify the learning methods.

Visual aids to keep everyone's attention.

While the best-trained speakers captivate their audience with the power of their voice alone, visual aids are usually needed to keep participants from becoming lost in the training content. In some cases, they are even essential to illustrate the content and provide concrete, understandable and memorable information. A screen will logically be needed in a training room, but it may be useful to use interactive screens, which offer more flexibility in practice. The blackboard is also a must.

Comfort and ergonomics of the furniture.

We don't think about it enough: during a training session, if we sit for hours on a simple chair, we quickly risk having muscular or articular pains. Obviously, they quickly prevent us from concentrating, not to mention that they demotivate us and do not give a good general image of the experience. In this sense, we do not hesitate to privilege ergonomic furniture and atypical alternatives so that the participants feel perfectly well. The addition of convivial zones with sofas to facilitate dialogue and relaxation between two intensive sessions is a very judicious option. There is also a tendency to forget about the essential ancillary equipment: before renting a room, check if there is a video projector on-site, find out if office supplies are included or not, etc.

Focus on a qualitative, original, and adapted training place

Once you have met all the basic requirements for a training venue, it is time to look at the details that can change everything. Why not rent an atypical space, not only used for training, that will surprise participants and guarantee an unforgettable experience? A green setting: between surprise and bucolic calm For a training session intended for executives who are constantly stressed by a hectic pace and a city life, the ideal would be to find a place where there is a maximum of space for greenery. Some may include a small garden or be decorated with lots of natural effects.

A space that reflects the values conveyed

By choosing to present a course in an atypical room, one opens the possibility of customizing it according to one's own philosophy. For example, the organizer can hang posters or decorative elements in the brand's image, use surprising accessories to assert an innovative reputation, or even give a fun and offbeat feel to the training, which could particularly appeal to young talent.

Choose a location that is easily accessible

Companies that have set up their premises in the suburbs have every interest in seeking out atypical training locations in the city center: this will, first of all, allow them to get out of their walls and comfort zone, to experience a minimum of change of scenery and to appreciate the moment better. Moreover, for training courses intended to welcome people who sometimes come from far away, proximity to train stations, airports and other subway lines are strong arguments!
