Food for Thought
Each of the 5 training strategies listed in the previous slide have “pluses” & “minuses.”
What are some of the +’s & -’s?
Cross-Training with Peers
• Takes advantage of experience and “institutional knowledge” of colleagues & co-workers.
BUT
• Misinformation, obsolete procedures, “myths,” and other poor practices can be acquired.
New Job Assignments
• Provides new skills, career options & opportunities.
BUT
• “Bad habits” can be transferred to the new job.
Continuing Education
• Obviously needed to deal with increasingly complex systems.
• Rewards & motivates staff.BUT
• Curriculum must be evaluated to be sure there is “bang for the buck.”
Vendor Equipment Training
• A necessary & excellent approach to be sure that systems specific to the facility are operated and maintained per the manufacturer.
BUT• Training may be generic and not
meet the specific sustainability goals of the facility.
Self-Study
• Cost-effective, flexible & convenient; works with motivated employees.
BUT
• May not be well-structured.
• Quality Assurance: Does it meet the organization’s needs?
