If youre training agencies, chances are your audience is spread out-different cities, regions, even countries. Instead of the usual Where are you joining from? and getting a dead chat put them on a live map. How to use it in Gig Economy training: - Warm-up (classic): Where are you joining from today? (People love seeing their city pop up.) - Make it topic-related: Where are most of your gig workers based? (Helps you talk about regional compliance differences.) - Future-focused: If you could launch a new gig worker program anywhere, where would it be? (Great segue into market demand and workforce supply.) Trainer tip: If youre doing group discussions later, you can call out clusters-Looks like weve got a big Toronto crowd Im going to use your region for an example. Instant relevance.

Before you go deep into policies, classification, onboarding, or managing gig talent-find out where people are starting from. Rating Polls let you get a fast pulse without anyone overthinking.

Why it works: youll instantly see if you should slow down, speed up, or add an example. Plus, your participants feel seen because youre adjusting to them in real time.
