After months and months of hard work slaving over the implementation of our LMS system. Then many long painstaking hours and overtime hours to get our mandatory core curriculum courses created. The system and courses have been launched to the entire organization.
True to form they hate change. Why can’t we do this on paper? (Because you cheat off of each other) (Because no one reads it) We don’t have enough computers. (One computer, everyone take turns over the course of 3 months, that’s 720 times the courses can be done in one dept over the course of 3 months and the largest dept here has about 150 people).
Okay now I’m whining. I guess I was very naive in thinking that everyone would be as excited learning my this method as I am. So to have so many negative comments come my way since the launch of the mandatory courses has really gotten me down on my work environment. (The 34C weather hasn’t helped either).
However, today for the first time I got feedback from a frontline worker. Not someone I know. Not someone I owe a favour to or wants a favour from me. Just another person here doing what she needs to do wrote me this:
“My name is XXX and I work in PACU. Just working my way thought the online
Core Curriculum package and wanted to let you know that I am so impressed.
It is extremely easy to use and the visuals make for a way better learning
experience than the old booklet version, especially when you are a visual
learner like myself. Everyone here in PACU is working away on their
package. Thanks again for doing such a great job.”
Wow! How cool is that? How nice is it to hear positive feedback from a complete stranger. It completely made my whole day, maybe my whole month. I’m recharged and ready to make more courses and make them even better.
Take a moment send some positive feedback to someone you work with; the difference it can make is invaluable.
