Interactive Virtual Workshops

For the present time, we have transitioned our popular face-to-face professional development programs into dynamic Virtual Forums delivered in convenient chunks, where everyone stays fully engaged. These maintain a high level of interaction participants have come to expect from our programs, as well as being time-efficient and cost-effective. A recent survey of participants from our virtual sessions revealed that 97% were satisfied with their experience, and 95% felt that the process and the use of technology delivered a good to an excellent return on their time and money.

To keep the learning alive, all FRI’s professional development sessions include dynamic small group discussions, as well as being:

  • Full of useful content from the latest business psychology and franchising research
  • Delivered by credible facilitators with a depth of real-world franchising experience
  • Highly interactive with the opportunity to discuss actual challenges
  • Practical and relevant to the hot issues facing franchisors
