Finally,
an answer to "canned"
training
material, expensive on-site
training by paid consultants,
and mundane presentations by the
same in-house instructor! These
used to be the only options open
to organizations needing to
train their employees, but no
more.
Commercially published
training
material is relatively
inexpensive, but is also general
in nature, since it must apply
to multiple organizations. It
teaches the rules, but it cannot
teach their application in your
company. Material on
OSHA's
Lockout-Tagout, for example, can
teach your employee the dangers
of stored energy, the need for
lockout, and the use of standard
lockout devices ... but it can't
teach him how to lockout your
equipment.
Hiring an instructor to come to
your location is an option for
obtaining the
custom training
you need, but at what cost ...
and will the instructor cover
everything you want and need?
Regardless, you have to pay for
his time, transportation,
lodging, and any material he
provides ... all to get
instruction just in his area of
expertise. On top of that, you
have to do it again every year,
and for every topic on which you
need custom training.
Using an in-house instructor is
your other option, but this has
some notable limitations. No one
can be a expert on all topics,
and an in-house instructor will
likely not have the time to
become an expert on any topic.
Using an in-house instructor
also makes your organization
dependant on the availability of
that person. What happens when
the instructor gets sick, or
worse, leaves the company? If he
gets sick, you are without an
instructor until he recovers. If
he leaves the company, you have
also lost his experience in your
organization, meaning that your
company must start all over with
a new instructor.
Over time, your employees will
become used to the instructor,
and his teaching style. When
this happens, he will be
perceived more and more often as
boring and mundane by your
employees, who will have to work
harder to pay proper attention
to the material being taught.
This is a danger, because an
employee whose only presence
during the training is physical
becomes a threat to himself, his
co-workers, and the company.
Finally, no in-house instructor
can be available 24/7 to answer
questions and assist your
employees in moving ahead. In
order to provide this, and
prevent boredom, you would have
to maintain a team of experts to
provide consistent,
authoritative training and
answer questions that arise on
the job. Didaskosm

gives your company the advantage
of having a team of experts on
call, for a fraction of the
cost.
