Staff training can help individuals develop their skills and abilities and improve their performance in the workplace. It can enable employees to become more competent at using new systems and following procedures and can help new starters become familiar with the requirements of a particular job. Training can be given on the job including coaching and mentoring, or delivered by an external provider.
