100+ check-in questions for trainees before a professional training session 2023

Training sessions for trainees are crucial for the growth of their performance and productivity. In a study by Harvard, 390 out of 1,000 people surveyed maintained that check-in questions personally or professionally instilled in  them a sense of belonging.

Check-in questions for trainees also act as a warm-up activity to boost trainee engagement and productivity in each and every training session, ensuring the best outcomes of these sessions.
