No matter how carefully a dairy farm manager recruits and selects employees, they will not come to their new jobs with all the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities. Training is essential if employees are to reach their potential. Training is anything an employer does to help employees learn to do their work the way the employer wants them to do it.
Training is an investment in people benefiting both the employer and employee.
In an ideal employer-employee situation, the investment in teaching allows an employee to do the job better. Doing the job better benefits both the employee and the dairy farm. Trainers need to see the job through the eyes of the employees. Good training makes complicated and complex tasks seem simple. Note how complicated riding a bicycle seems until one knows how.
