Study Notes

Common Considerations of Training

  • When Training is NOT the Answer:

    • Basic Job Knowledge for Experienced Staff: Long-term employees don't need training on tasks they already know.
    • Use of Personal Technology: Employees are responsible for using their own devices for personal use; this doesn't require county-provided training.
    • Routine Administrative Procedures: Staff who regularly perform routine tasks (e.g., scheduling, filing) don't need training.
    • Self-Directed Learning: Employees can independently pursue certifications or courses outside of company-provided training.
    • Self-Explanatory Tasks: If a task is intuitive and uses a standard tool or form, no training is needed.
  • When Training is the Answer:
