...New Employee Training John Doe HRM/240 August 28, 2011 Diane Blankname New Employee Training Companies seeking new employees for a position as a computer support specialist have different requirements. Some organizations prefer employees to obtain up-to-date certifications, but some organizations prefer for new employees to have an associates or bachelor’s degree (JobBank USA, 2010). Although the employee may meet the educational requirement to obtain a job as a computer support specialist, the company must make sure that the employee is capable of performing the unique operations of the company. Computer support specialist should be kept up-to-date on the latest technology since technology changes every day. New employees should be evaluated to see if they need additional training. According to Bohlander and Snell (2007), competency assessment focuses on the sets of skills and knowledge employees need to be successful at knowledge-intensive jobs. Competency assessment is a superior way to see if an employee needs additional training to perform the tasks of a job. A company or organization can ask employees to perform certain tasks required for the job, to see if the employee needs additional training. Implementing the correct training program is important to organizations. If the training process is not done correctly, a company can waste a large amount of money by providing poor training to employees. For entry-level positions as a computer support specialist,...

Job Instruction Training • A formalized, structured, and systematic approach to on-the-job training that consists of four steps: preparation, instruction, performance, and follow up. • Job instruction training incorporates the principles of behavioral modeling. • The trainer demonstrates task performance on the job and then provides the trainee with opportunities to practice while the trainer provides feedback and reinforcement. • The trainer then monitors the trainee's performance on the job. • This method could be used for call centres. Performance Aid • A device that helps an employee perform his/her job. • Includes signs or props, trouble-shooting aids, instructions in sequence, a special tool or gauge, flashcards to help counsel clients, pictures, or posters and checklists. • Performance aids are used when memorization of sequences and tasks can take too much training time, especially if the task is not repeated daily. • They are also useful when performance is difficult, is executed infrequently, can be done slowly, and when the consequences of poor performance are serious. • Example - McDonald's uses laminated visual aids to remind trainees of the steps in a task as a form of visual reinforcement that they can refer to during training and on the job.
