The Nutrition EDGE package is usually delivered to participants who come from a diverse range of backgrounds and levels of knowledge and experience, so there is variation in the level of adoption.
This workshop was condensed from three days into a two-day workshop and delivered on-property to Stanbroke staff, including station managers and head stockmen, but also to head office management.
Participants completed pre-workshop and post-workshop skills audits to establish and measure levels of confidence, knowledge and skills, and management practices in nutrition, to tailor delivery of future workshops, to evaluate the changes three months post-workshop, and to get feedback on what further assistance and follow-up training they required.
The feedback and outcomes for the pre-workshop and post-workshop skills audits have formed the basis for recommendations for more flexible and effective delivery of the EDGE training packages, ongoing training and assistance with practical implementation of nutritional principles including synergies with formalised coaching groups and follow-up consultancy work.
