| File Information | Part of an effective training program entails identification of training needs. Hands-on training is generally more effective than more passive methods. There is an important difference between telling workers how to do a task and successfully transferring skills. Coaching and mentoring are important tools that can be used in an organization, both formally and informally, to help individuals achieve their potential. |
