Prepare the employee to learn. Tell the learner about each step or part of the task. Show the learner how to do each step of the task. Have the learner do each step of the task with the trainer observing and then without observation. Review each step or part of the task with the learner, offering encouragement, constructive criticism and additional pointers on how to do the job.
Communication involves much more than telling people what to do.
Communication may occur through two-way conversations, writing, pictures, charts and posters. It may also be nonverbal, such as a smile, frown, handshake, shrug, grunt, nod, gesture or even silence. Have a positive attitude about communication with seasonal employees. Search out the reasons for poor communication and work to resolve the problems. Accept the reality of miscommunication.
