We video all of the training sessions and they REALLY don't like having to sit through the video. Given the lesser of two evils, they come for training. After the video session, they have to process the material with the training director also.

What do you do to encourage tutors to attend tutor meetings? I try to schedule them when most are free--usually around noon; they can bring their lunches and sometimes I will have some "treats," but there are always a few who cannot make it. I have a fall tutor training workshop for three hours before classes begin and have always had a good attendance. However, some tutors don't make it to my monthly meetings - soon to be twice a month-(am I a glutton for punishment). They are paid for the hours of meeting, but this does not seem to help. If I make the meetings required instead of highly encouraged, what do I do if they don't attend? We can't afford to let them go; we need them. What do you do? Thanks for your help.
