Self-training for employees

Training at the workplace often is a responsibility of the organisation itself. Technically experienced colaborators introduce other colleagues into an operational working routine: they are familiar with all the operational conditions.

There is a number of proven procedures and methods for doing that. Three possiblities for training employees are presented here, that shall support the managers and the persons responsible for operational training within the organisation:

1. Workplace instruction
2. Quality circles
3. Coaching

For the implementation of these possibilities, two essential aspects should be taken into account:

• The training should be directly related to operational practice in a real workplace and focus on practical tasks;
• The participants are adults who are in general positively motivated for work, have long-standing professional experience and ability for self-paced individual learning (regardless of different levels).
