Types of Training

hand shows a newcomer the ropes.
• When good training is absent there is likely to be an
atmosphere of tension, crisis, and conflict because nobody
knows what to do.

Who will do the Training?
• The magic apron method: people train
themselves the easiest ways to get the job
done, and what will keep them from getting
into trouble.
• The person that is leaving trains: teaches
shortcuts and ways of breaking the rules.
• Big sister, big brother, or buddy method:
passes on bad habits and may resent new
person as a competitor.
• The logical person to train new workers is
YOURSEF!

How employees learn the best:
• When they are actively involved in the
learning process-(to do this choose a
appropriate teaching method).
• Training is relevant and practical.
• Training material is organized and
presented in chunks.
• Training is in an informal, quiet, and
comfortable setting.
• When they have a good trainer.
• When they receive feedback on
performance.
• When they are rewarded.

Developing a Job-Training Program
• Training plan: A detailed plan for
carrying out employee training for a unit
of work.
• 1st- establish performance standards:
they provide a ready made structure for
a training program.
• 2nd- write a training objective derived
form above.
• 3rd- Develop standard procedures (list
tasks and spell them out).
15. www.edventures1.com | training@edventures1.com | +91-9787-55-55-44
Developing a Unit Training Program
• This is taught in several sessions.
• Should include two elements:
1. Showing and telling the employee
what to do.
2. Having the employee do it (right).
• Training materials should be the
same as used on the job.

Moving from Plan to Action

some experience
begins with a pretest.
• Carry out the training
program with
employees who do not
meet standards.
• Once the training
process is complete
EVALUATE.

surveys to monitor training while its going on.
• Summative evaluation: measures results when training is
complete in five ways:
1. Reaction
2. Knowledge
3. Behavior
