One of the best ways to encourage individuals to continue to participate in training is to express appreciation when they do attend an event. Your expression says to them that you recognize their effort and are thankful for their presence. This gratitude can be expressed in many ways. Thanks for being there. It shows that you really care about your place of service in our Sunday School.
Handwritten notes are even better than typed ones.
Brief phone calls go a long way toward encouraging Sunday School workers to participate in future training events. Develop a calendar of training opportunities well in advance. Let your Sunday School workers know what training opportunities are upcoming during the next church year. By so doing, Sunday School workers can plan ahead. Also, sharing training opportunities well in advance will add to workers' anticipation of the events.
