Section 3 Description Text
Training and education form an integral part of any system of work.
Most workers have some areas in their knowledge and skill that could be improved. A training program can bring all workers to a higher skill level and ensure that employees have a similar level of knowledge and skill. Providing necessary training creates a more knowledgeable workforce who can assist each other as needed and can also work independently without the need for close and constant supervision.
A structured program helps to make sure that staff have consistent knowledge of their role and responsibilities. The consistency is particularly relevant for the employer’s policies and procedures. All workers need to be aware of the expectations and procedures within the business. This includes injury management and safety. Putting all staff through regular training in these areas ensures that all employees have exposure to the information.
Proactive identification and delivery of training that a business makes shows employees they are valued. Training creates a supportive workplace and staff may gain access to training they wouldn’t have otherwise known about or sought out themselves. In addition a worker who has received training is better able to perform their role. Worker’s become more aware of safety and other practices and procedures and this helps build employee confidence and job satisfaction.
