Is It Time to Revamp Your Training?

摘要

As a previous owner of an HVAC company,I understand the difficulty of creating and applying a training program for new hires or as a refresher for current employees. With standards and methods constantly changing, the problem has only been exacerbated. So the question to ask becomes: How do you know if your current training methods are the best you can do? Let's face it, in today's environment when it is hard to find good employees, we need all the help we can get. Using the correct training methods to build the right training program may be necessary. Examine your current training methods. Are you just going through the motions and hoping your employees will pick up what you are saying? The key is to be honest and ask yourself the hard questions. "Are my methods working?" "How can I improve so that training works from the start?" An effective way to evaluate your training is to simply ask your staff. Test your current training program on a select group of employees and use their feedback. Oftentimes, your best information can come from your team members.
