Abstract

Purpose

With organizations striving to attract Millennials into their businesses and ensure that they are entirely engaged, new approaches need to be considered. This paper aims to consider the value of equine-assisted learning (EAL) programs.

Design/methodology/approach

A literature review examined current research and use of EAL in the field of management training and development.

Findings

EAL does promote a number of so-called soft skills among employees, including communication, body language awareness, relationship building, and teamwork building.

Originality/value

EAL is an up-and-coming management training trend, the subject so far of very little research – especially so in the UK, where it has not yet had the impact it is beginning to make in the USA.
