Thanks for invitation,

I do believe that the most efficient training for new employees, is that training course designed to allow them to have a very good picture for all the organization's activities, despite their own specializations, as this type of training courses are giving them the chance to be familiar and well understanding the processes flow for  the organization's, its structure, its activities, in addition to the relationship between all its departments as well.

Training differs from company to company, it depends on what kind of company it is and what his tasks and duties will be.

In general with each training your instruction should be based on the lowest entrance level of the students, from there you start to build them untill they are first on the same level, once all are on the same level you take them all towards a higher level.

You have 3 main techniques of instruction

  1. Verbal instruction, instructor explains, student listens (easiest technique, but low level of interaction of the student)
  2. Drill and practice, instructor shows, student repeats (slightly higher technique, with higher level of interaction of the student)
  3. Question and answer, instructors askes students pre-prepared questions on which he wants a certain answer from his students, based on the answers he gets from his class he comes with a question based on these answers, guiding the class into the direction he want the training session to go (very difficult technique, needs a lot of experience and a very high level of preperation, advantage is a very high interaction of the student in the matter with a very high level of acceptance by the student.

As instructor you have the following to bare in mind, first the lowest start level within your class, and the end goal your students are to reach within the training session.

All 3 techniques can be used withing a training session, evaluation during the session is important, you could based on your evaluation assesment switch between the techniques.

A well experienced instructor sort of "plays" with these techniques, in my eyes though the higher the acceptance level of the student the better your instruction session was, technique 3 is what I prefer to use as much as possible.

Training should be designed based on the needs of the employees. Training managers should be able to formulate and conceptualize the training needs. This is the same reason why we have this so-called "training analysis" which should cover what the employees should learn and come up with the training objectives on how and why they should be applied. Training should be based on real-life scenario - less emphasis on those copy-pasted from the web - so they will be able to come up with a better solution (Training outcome)  to any issue that they might encounter.

It is important that Trainers should include the company history and organizational structures for new employees. 

I am a firm believer of "ON THE JOB TRAINING" is the most effective.

Encourage proactivity, answer all questions, no question is dumb, allow the employee to make decsion and calculated mistake.

Other special intensive classes are important, but nerver as a starter.

In my experience Training can be very different depending on the topic. For me there are very simple procedures to follow each time.

  1. Overview of the company and its values
  2. Clear Training Plan.
  3. Delivery of Training is vital to any successful session
  4. Encourage interaction from trainees throughout the training
  5. Always request feedback to help improve future sessions
  6. MAKE IT FUN!
