Crew Trainer Meeting (USA)
So I’m a fairly new DM. I’ve got the schedules, recognition, and times down, but I’m struggling with coming up with topics to keep my Crew Trainers and PLX engaged.
Before I took this position they had no structure or meetings. Kind of would find out they were training someone at the same time the new person met them.
My team of Crew Trainers and PLX are amazing, but we’re all still learning and adjusting to these changes especially monthly meetings. I go over wins, areas of opportunity, and upcoming stuff for the restaurant. At the end I also ask an open ended question for all to respond to and create a conversation, but it doesn’t read over well. For example in January I asked what their personal goal was as a leader in the restaurant and they all just copied each other’s one worded answers.
I feel like a lot of it is that they all work different shifts and speak to each other casually, but don’t feel like a team.
I’m seeking advice on how to get them engaged and excited again especially as we roll into summer. I was really leaning into games that could teach communication and teamwork. I would like to know if anyone here does something similar and how you tie it to the job.
Thank you!
