Workshop evaluation

Of the 14 people who completed the workshop evaluation forms, 7 (50%) reported that it was useful and 7 (50%) reported that it was very useful. This positive evaluation suggests that participants were satisfied with the experience.

Participants were also asked to identify three things they liked most about the workshop, and many reported they found the presentation and the presenter to be very good and knowledgeable. They also reported liking the facility, the opportunity to reflect on their own change priorities and the opportunity to share experiences and resources with their colleagues.

When asked to identify three areas that could be improved, participants reported the following:

• Move through morning agenda more quickly
• More time spent on stress relief and coping
• Spend more time on Best Practices - within other organizations
• More time on practical resources
• Room was good but there was some noise at lunchtime and after that it was a bit distracting
• More time to cover topics
• Have Ministry people here - open forum
• Handouts of some of Pam's notes
• More time to explore specific issues raised
• More hands-on activities
• Multi-media presentations
