From experts and assistants to janitors and security guards, every staff member in *Two Point Museum* plays a crucial role. As staff gain experience (XP), they unlock better skills and become more efficient at their jobs. Here’s how to level up staff XP quickly in *Two Point Museum*.

How to Get Staff XP Fast in Two Point Museum

When staff members embark on Expeditions, certain events (good or bad) are only active when they have reached the necessary rank. Excluding staff from these trips could cost the expedition party a valuable exhibit “+1 Quality” or even put them in danger.

Ranking does not affect a staff member’s day-to-day abilities; however, it does have value beyond the daily routine. Leveling up opens qualification slots, which do impact your museum’s daily operations.

Leveling up staff members can feel tedious and slow, especially when you're managing an entire museum. But there are key strategies to maximize your staff's experience without compromising your operations.

1. Staff Assignments

Each of your staff members has a specialty, particularly if they have a qualification when hired. Staff continuously build their experience (though it's a slow process), so keeping them in roles that match their skills means they'll build XP while effectively utilizing their talents.

For instance, if an Expert has the Eloquent trait, assign them to lead tours. This not only builds their XP but also maximizes visitor engagement and knowledge, benefiting both the staff and guests.

Assistants should work in areas best suited to their traits and talents. If an assistant excels at customer service, don't hide them away in a marketing office. Keep them on the museum floor to maximize their impact and guest satisfaction.

2. Train Staff Regularly

Training is a direct way to improve staff effectiveness, even if it means they're temporarily off the museum floor. While staff don’t earn XP by training in *Two Point Museum*, training enables them to progress and earn experience in the future. By building a training room and regularly training staff, you can ensure they learn new skills or improve existing ones, leading to a more efficient workforce over time.

Choosing a qualification during training that aligns with their job responsibilities is crucial – this will help them increase their XP more quickly once they return to work.

3. Expeditions

Although expeditions mean staff are absent from your museum, they are a great way to gain XP and level up. This is especially true when visiting areas of the map that offer higher levels of XP when using certain staff members.

The cargo item “XP-dition Journal” increases expedition XP by 15% and should always be considered when sending staff on journeys. If another item isn’t directly required, using the journal is a smart choice.

4. Keep Your Staff Happy

A happy employee is a productive employee. If your staff members are unhappy, tired, or overworked, they may want to quit or take more breaks. Ensure you have enough staff so your museum workers aren’t overworked – but not so many that they're idle. Remember, training your staff also increases their salary expectations, so keep an eye on your finances!

These are some key strategies to quickly gain XP and level up your staff for a superior museum experience. Be sure to check out our other game guides for more tips!
