#26: What Makes A Good Trainer?

Safe, Efficient, Profitable: A Worker Safety Podcast

What if the secret to a successful business operation lies not just in the hands of your employees but in those who train them? We're Joe and Jen Allen, here to illuminate the importance of not just having a trainer but fostering an exceptional one. We dig deep into the attributes of an effective trainer, emphasizing that it is not just about their qualifications on paper, but their charisma and passion in delivering the training. We explore why trainers need to feel an attachment to the environment they're training in and how this, coupled with the ability to compartmentalize, can significantly enhance their effectiveness.
We also shed light on the art of crafting a specifically tailored message for each department, emphasizing the value of understanding each department’s unique dynamics and the 24-hour business cycle. Furthermore, we encourage trainers to embrace the power of 'I don't know', explaining how it plays a role in acknowledging limitations. Moving beyond strategies, we dive into the realm of creating a positive and conducive training environment. You'll hear us talk about a buoyant atmosphere that encourages brainstorming and collaboration. So, gear up and join us as we navigate the ins and outs of successful training to create safe, efficient, and profitable work environments.
