Imagine you’re nearing the end of the year with so much on your plate, then realizing you still have to use up the rest of the professional development budget.
Yikes.
Then the realilty that you have to search, create, and host everything for the professional development sessions sinks in. This is exactly what you don’t need right now.
Well, we had the hypothesis that quality professional development, that meets your business’ and your employees’ needs, doesn’t have to be expensive or time-consuming to be incredibly effective.
For example, a small software company offering SaaS solutions approached the last quarter of the year feeling the pressure. With multiple projects to complete, a professional development quota that needed to be filled, and the looming task of planning for the coming year, team leader Josh sought a solution to tackle these demands. That’s when he discovered GettaMeeting.
By October of 2024, Josh was juggling several challenges:
Josh struggled to find an impactful and cost-effective way to utilize the remaining professional development budget.
With deadlines quickly approaching and multiple overlapping projects, the team needed strategies to improve focus and streamline workflows to get across the finish line.
Beyond completing projects, the end of the year called for evaluation, celebrating achievements, and creating goals for 2025. The leadership team wanted a structure to allow for reflection and planning without hindering day-to-day performance.
Josh needed a solution that holistically addressed these challenges – boosting productivity while laying a foundation for long-term growth.
Josh turned to GettaMeeting’s Team Toolkit subscription to access the workplace productivity modules, designed to inspire teams and improve outcomes. The series includes Healthy Habits, Maximize the Minutes, and Enhanced Focus, all of which aligned with the company’s needs.
Healthy Habits Module: emphasizes building positive routines and training employees to make purpose-driven decisions.
Maximize the Minutes Module: delivers insights on time management, teaching employees how to prioritize effectively and make the most of their time.
Enhanced Focus Module: introduces strategies for leveraging short, intentional bursts of focus to maximize productivity. The concept of the “Power of Ten” encourages ten-minute concentrated work sprints.
These video modules, accompanied by curated playlists, meeting material suggestions, team-building activities, and more were simple yet powerful tools that Josh could implement immediately.
The modules were integrated into the team’s existing workflow as part of their weekly team meetings.
The outcomes of implementing GettaMeeting’s modules were both measurable and highly impactful.
Josh successfully utilized his professional development allocation without exceeding the budget. With the subscription priced far below other training options, Josh successfully delivered savings while prioritizing high-quality training.
By applying productivity strategies from the modules, the company met all year-end project deadlines. Additionally, employees reported feeling more focused and less stressed, which translated into higher engagement during crunch time.
With guidance from the Healthy Habits module, employees had dedicated time for reflection, allowing them to celebrate 2024’s wins and set goals for the year ahead.
Employees praised the sessions for being “interesting” and “practical”. One participant commented,
Josh’s collaboration with GettaMeeting highlights the value of investing in high-quality, flexible training solutions. By leveraging the workplace productivity modules, the team managed to solve challenges while setting itself up for ongoing success.
