If you’re an employee who has observed a trained as well as an untrained employee, you would know the difference between the two and how one of them performs way better than the untrained one. It is important, thus, that an on job training should not be neglected whether or not the candidate is new or experienced since one always has room for improvement-some jus have it more than others and that should, by no means, stop companies from training their employees.
When we talk about training methods, it is certain that many training techniques and methods which were previously used a long time ago can now qualify as obsolete. This can ‘tap out’ an employee’s potential. A newly developed system used by certain corporations while training their employees is that of screencast videos. After certain employees underwent the training process, they were asked to give their reviews about the new training method and whether they learned anything or not. It was found that:
- About 45-50% of the content of training videos was soon forgotten by the employees within a week’s time.
- Almost 45% of the employees could not cope with the complexity involved in the videos and thus, ended up leaving their jobs.
- The rest of the employees, let’s say about 52% of them reported that although an overall performance increase was seen over a three-year period- which was longer than expected-, only about 15-20% of the employees were full proficient in their jobs.
