Whether you work in retail or hospitality or manage a frontline team, you know how challenging and expensive it can be to gather everyone in one place for training. Your employees are spread across multiple locations, have different shifts, and are constantly on the move.
It’s challenging to keep them engaged and ensure they apply what they learn on the job. But what if you could make training more accessible, effective, and seamless?
This is where the Event Planner comes in.
It helps you combine digital learning with live training sessions, no matter where your team is.
The Struggle with Traditional Training
Many companies face common training roadblocks:
- Time constraints – Employees can’t spend hours in training sessions.
- Low engagement – Traditional e-learning can feel like a chore.
- Forgetting what’s learned – Without reinforcement, knowledge fades quickly.
- Lack of tracking – Managers struggle to see who attended training and if it was effective.
The solution? Blended learning—a smart mix of microlearning, live training, and follow-up reinforcement.
Why blended learning works
Imagine you’re training retail employees on handling customer complaints. Instead of a long one-off training session, you could:
- Start with a quick microlearning module covering the basics.
- Follow up with a live Q&A session where employees ask questions and share experiences.
- Send a short quiz to reinforce key takeaways.
- Encourage team discussions on the workfloor to apply the knowledge in real-life situations.
This mix ensures that employees not only receive training but also retain and use it effectively.
Introducing the Event Planner: Your Blended Learning Sidekick
We’ve introduced the Event Planner in MobieTrain to make blended learning easier.
The event planner is a feature within MobieTrain that organises and communicates about physical and virtual training sessions on a specific date. These can be, for example, physical classroom training or an online Q&A session with an expert.
Thanks to this MobieTrain feature, users quickly have an overview of all their physical and digital learning content in the same overview! They can enroll on these training sessions from the same starting point as they start a new microlearning.
This feature helps you organize and communicate about online and in—person training sessions from one platform.
With the Event Planner, you can:
- Schedule live training sessions and notify employees.
- Decide who should attend (mandatory or optional participation).
- Track registrations and cancellations in real time.
- Offer a seamless learning experience—employees can find everything in one place.
The Power of an All-in-One Training Experience
Let’s say you’re managing a team in hospitality, and you need to train staff on upselling techniques. Instead of sending them a long manual:
- You launch a microlearning module with quick best practices.
- You schedule a live role-playing session via the Event Planner.
- You send a follow-up challenge to test their skills.
- You track who completed what in your MobieTrain dashboard.
This approach makes training more engaging, practical, and easy to manage.
