Let's be honest, compliance training isn't the most exciting topic for most folks. But it's super important and a requirement for all of us. In MS Teams, keeping your audience engaged during these sessions isn't just about stopping them from zoning out—it's about making sure they really understand and remember the stuff you're sharing. When people are engaged, they're more likely to show up, pay attention, and retain the info long after the meeting ends. Plus, a bit of live interaction spices things up and keeps everyone on their toes.
Engage with Magic Maps: Taking Your Attendees on a World Tour
Magic Maps is a fantastic way to kick off your Annual Compliance Training on MS Teams. Start by asking your audience, 'Where are you joining us from today?' As they type their responses in the chat, you'll see these locations magically appear on a world map. Not only does this break the ice, but it also visually connects everyone, showing the diversity of your team or organization. It’s like a mini global tour right from your screen! You could also spice it up by asking them their dream travel destination or which city reminds them of fun compliance workshops they've attended in the past. It's interactive and a great conversation starter.
Open the Floor with Opinion Polls
Sometimes it’s beneficial to collect more detailed feedback, and that's where Opinion Polls shine. Use them to gather open-ended responses to questions like, 'How do you feel these compliance changes impact your daily tasks?' or 'What’s your personal take on our current policy's effectiveness?' Folks can freely share their thoughts in the chat, and you’ll have a live display of their input. This can lead to insightful discussions and deeper engagement with the topic.
Power Polls: Fueling Real-time Feedback
Power Polls are perfect for getting instant feedback during your compliance training sessions. Ask straightforward questions like 'Which area of compliance do you find most challenging?' before diving into deeper discussions on that topic. Or, to check in on understanding, ask 'Do you feel confident in applying these compliance rules?' This live engagement gives you a pulse check on the audience’s grasp of the material, allowing you to adjust your approach if needed.
Spin the Wheel of Engagement: Winner Wheel in Action
As the session moves along, you might notice that not everyone is jumping into the chat. To get everyone typing away, introduce StreamAlive's Winner Wheel. Use it to reward participants who are active during the webinar. Imagine announcing a $10 coffee gift card winner for the person who shared the best tip on how to manage compliance effectively, or how often compliance policies should be reviewed. It’s a fun element of surprise that encourages everyone to share their thoughts more freely.
Unleash Wonder Words to Visualize Thoughts
For a creative twist during compliance training, try using Wonder Words. Ask your team, 'What word comes to mind when you think of policy compliance?' or 'What's your one-word reaction to today's training?' As responses roll in, common themes and ideas will visually pop in a word cloud. It’s a brilliant way to see audience sentiment at a glance and get everyone thinking and participating. Plus, it's just fun to watch the cloud evolve and see which words stand out the most!
