If you are trying to create a great training room for your employees and you aren't sure how to design the space properly, you want to make sure that you have a space you can work in to train and they can train on their own. You don't want them to get easily distracted in the space but you still need to be able to monitor the trainees.

There are a few different things you'll want to consider adding to the empty space, so you can create a space that isn't just great for training but also for holding meetings and more.

Smart Board

A smart board is great for showing slideshows, watching videos and tutorials for training, and it allows the trainees to interact with the board while answering questions and going through scenarios. The training manager can write on the board and make notes, and use the board just like a projection screen or a chalkboard. This is a great investment you can use for staff meetings and other events as well.

Library Shelving

Are you supposed to have an area with training manuals, safety booklets and other information about keeping the commercial property safe and sanitary? If so, get industrial library shelving and put it along one end of the room. You then use the shelving to store the binders, books and other informational materials needed for all of the staff. You can also use the industrial library shelving for storing equipment and other things. Contact a local fabricating firm, like Elliott Bay Metal Fabricating Inc., for information on building customized shelving for your needs.

Conference Table and Chairs

Instead of using individual desks and chairs get one large conference table for the room or get a few long tables. This is going to provide a uniformed look and it's going to be ideal for staff meetings and manager meetings. This is also beneficial if you have investors, corporate guests or trainees that need to work on group projects.

If you don't have a great place right now for your trainees to get training and studying done, and it's training that they need, take an empty room in the building and make it a place where they can learn. If your trainees are in a designated area and away from the rest of the staff, you don't have to worry about them being a distraction. The room is going to benefit you when you  need to sit down with an employee one on one, or when you need to conduct other meetings.
