subject: A Well-trained Employee Is A Happy Employee [print this page] Training new employees should never end after the original training process. Often, an employer will put their new employees through a month of classroom training, going through every arcane fact that pertains to the business, and then dumping them out into their workforce. It is tough to understand the job title and the responsibility that comes with it without a more through training process. People are always learning on the job and it isn't until doing the actual job itself that the employee starts to get a grip of what his or her job responsibilities are.
New employees should always be shown thorough and complete rules and regulations that have to do with the business. If they are left confused about anything at all, they will not be happy with the job they have been given. They should always know who their trainers are, where they should go every day and what their job will entail. Anything that is in their job description should be gone over by a trainer who can answer questions when they arise.
When trainers or managers fail to inform employees of all the things they need to know, it opens the door to mistakes and miscommunications. Both of these can devastate a business so it is best when all employees know exactly what they are supposed to be doing at all times, whether they are a new employee or not.
Most employers feel that after the interview and hiring process, they are getting someone with all the skills needed to be a productive employee, but everyone needs to learn sometime. If the learning ever stops, the job can become boring if there are no new challenges.
Offering college courses and extra courses in the business itself can add a lot to the education of your new employees. Many new employees will never express displeasure or frustration at their new job, but that only means that they are likely keeping their frustrations bottled up inside and that never leads to a good end results.
By simply making sure that your employees feel confident in their job you can ensure the further success of your business. The questions they ask on their first few days will be elementary to them if you show the patience and tolerance to make sure that the training process never ends.
