Training method
Training new employees is a task that every company has to go through at some point, and will often never stop as they grow larger and other employees leave, retire, and so on. Therefore, knowledge of how to properly train employees is crucial to know.
Effective employee training
Training employees is a long-term investment that pays a dividend to the company in the form of more skilled and experienced employees. The first step towards our employee training is goal setting. It is essential to know what the aim is when training — what you want out of your staff.
Our training method is scheduled in such a way that it ensures no one lags behind, allowing participants to work at their own pace when possible. Our interactive training methods make sure that knowledge is applied in the form of actions (and the other way around). Our customized quizzes, activities, hands-on examples give much more experience for a real job compared to a standard blackboard classroom setting
Effective Methods
With today’s technology, there are many effective training methods for employees. Before discussing these different methods, it is important to note that different employees will have different learning styles. Some will learn better through visual techniques, some grasp the material better through listening, while others are kinetic learners – they learn best via interactive means. Keeping this in mind, we offer a variety of ways to learn will much better guarantee effective staff training.
Classroom style training is the most popular way to train employees. We at Inqserve approach this in 2 ways; physical classroom or a virtual classroom.
A Physical classroom makes it easier in ensuring whether the trainees are learning properly, it makes the understanding of their needs and interaction easier. If the participants are enabled to reach the location of the class, a virtual classroom will serve them the best and the only requirement is that the students have the time for the class. A virtual classroom can be made through video conferencing apps such as Zoom or Google meet.
So, whether a physical classroom or a video conference classroom is used, we at Inqserve make sure that the trainees are able to ask questions, do activities provided by the trainer, improvise and go beyond the bare amount given in the course.
This differs from having online classrooms, in that there is no real teacher. The trainees are self-taught instead. Although it may seem like an inferior option at first, there are several benefits to it. First of all, they are able to train at their own pace. This guarantees that they understand the material. If they don’t, re-reading the information is much easier with online courses. Although there is no trainer to directly ask questions real-time, it is not a difficult task to provide them with an email or some sort of contact to help them with any difficulties they encounter. In addition to online courses, there are several other computer-based training methods available in the market; one very notable example is the usage of VR (Virtual Reality) to immerse the employees into a virtual situation similar to one that might be encountered in a real job.
One of the most important steps in our training methods is introducing employees to real-life examples of what they will be working with once they begin the actual job. This can work in a few different ways.
After sufficient previous training, the employee will be given the job under the supervision of a coach. The job of this coach is to supervise to ensure that the job is being done properly. He/She will also give tips and advice on the job, and keep the environment safe for the trainee if the job involves dangerous aspects. Many on-field jobs have this type of training, provided after approximately a few weeks of training off the worksite. When providing effective employee training, having this type is a must-have.
Overall, these three forms of training are the staple for modern-day effective employee training methods. Having proper training has tremendous positive effects on a company far outweighing the possible cost of it, and a company with poor training methods will most likely have more poorly skilled employees than a company that takes the time to train its employees.
