- Our company is Medium sized paper manufacturing company named Dunder Mifflin. We are based out of Scranton, PA. Our employees include receptionist, sales team, accounting, human resources, and warehouse workers.
- Some of you may be asking, why is employee training important? Studies have shown that companies with high-impact learning programs delivered profit growth three times greater than competing firms. Why is that so? Because if you can keep your employees current and skilled, then you can evolve and perform better than your competitors. Training programs can keep people engaged with their work and not looking for jobs elsewhere. So then why is it that only 20% of businesses offer training programs?
- One of the best types of training a company can offer is on-the-job training. This is training that takes place in the work setting while employees are performing job-related tasks. This method of training is both time and cost effective because it doesn’t require any extra training hours as employees can be training during normal work hours by an employee working their regular shift. This method allows hands on learning and depending on the person, can be a very quick way of learning through repetition. Teamwork and collaboration is essential for this method to be successful.
- The next type of training I will be discussing is computer based training. This is also a great way to train new employees to a new system or routine. This method is extremely flexible as it allows employees to access the training from any computer at any time. Employees can work at their own pace which helps with training retention. It is very cost effective once implemented correctly and the training modules can be tailored for each individual employee and their specific job requirements. There is initial investment and planning to set up the courses and modules.
- The weakest training method for our company would be classroom training. This might be good for a large company that needs to train 50+ people at a time but for our medium sized business it is not effective. Classroom training requires a trainer, a room, materials and enough learners to make the training worth the investment. If people do not show up or pay attention, it will be a waste of time and investment. Also when conducting an training class, some of the training may not apply to all employees which would be counterproductive.
- Based on my research I recommend that we implement on the job training for all new hires to increased productivity and learning retention. All new hired will be paired with a mentor/trainer who will be responsible for teaching the required tasks, attitudes, and behaviors. I do not think classroom training and computer based training will be effective because they both require time to plan and execute as well as initial monetary investment. On the job training can be initiated right away and it is fast and efficient way of training new employees which promotes high performance.
