Abstract
This account focuses on reporting the use of a fictional story to engage participants in a workshop on improving employee performance. Examples of fictional accounts appropriate for training and development (T&D) uses and the advantages of using workplace-related fictional stories for T&D purposes are discussed. Improving efficiency, providing a safe learning environment, avoiding groupthink, removing negative attitudes towards stories and increasing access to varied stories are the advantages of using fiction as a story source for T&D purposes. This account has practical implications for Human Resource and T&D professionals.
