Training others

If you work within a company then there may be a time when you are required to train someone. It may be that you are due to go on leave and need someone to cover you whilst you are away for that you are moving on from that position or even that the company has expanded and your job now requires additional members of staff. IF you have been asked to train a new member of staff then you will need to make sure that you give them all the information needed in a way that they can understand to allow them to be successful.

Training someone is often not easy, as you may have to continue doing your day to day job at the same time and have limited time in which to train them. I find that making notes and even printing off screen grabs (if working on a computer) is an ideal way of helping someone learn a new process. Showing them step by step and also allowing them time to practise is a great way of ensuring that you have trained them to a high standard.
