The Importance Of Training And The Methods Of Training:
Overview
A business can buy the best machines and the smartest software, but without skilled people to use them, none of it works. Training turns a new recruit into a productive employee and keeps existing staff up to date as technology and methods change. It is one of the clearest examples of a business investing not in physical capital but in human capital.
In this lesson you will learn why training matters to both the business and the employee, and then compare the three main methods, induction, on-the-job and off-the-job training, weighing the benefits and limitations of each. By the end you will be able to recommend the right type of training for a given situation and justify your choice.
Objectives
- Importance of training to a business and to employees
- Benefits and limitations of induction training, on-the-job training and off-the-job training
