Field Staff Training

What is Field Staff Training?

Field staff comprises that part of your workforce outside the remit of your company's physical walls. In other words, they work in the field. Their lack of physical proximity poses a challenge when you need to educate your distant staff about the organization's changing policies. Training them on the latest products and modern skills required to complete a field project is also tricky. So, what is the solution? In this case, the ideal answer is to use a remote training model that your employees can access from any location.

PlayAblo's mobile-first technology is the perfect solution for field staff training. Not only does it allow your employees to access knowledge on the go, but it also enables them to consume information from any location across the globe. What's more? If the internet is an issue, they can download the required course materials and go through them -- anywhere, anytime!

What Are the Top Field Staff Training Techniques for Improving the Performance and Development of Your Teams

A project's success or failure might be determined by the quality of the field staff training, particularly if you have a tight deadline to meet your objectives. These pointers are essential to get the most out of your training programmes.

When your team is fully aware of the big picture (the Why), including the tasks they will be expected to perform on the ground and how the data gathered will be used by the company to make decisions, live device training (the How) will be most effective.

Spend some time learning about the customs and culture of the area. A brief greeting in the local tongue can go a long way to establishing rapport. You should also be aware of significant occasions, such as prayer times.

The setting for learning is crucial. Make sure to verify the projector, electricity, internet, etc. Ideally, place the chairs so that you can move around freely and that everyone can see you.

A tried-and-true procedure is to introduce the subject, demonstrate how it is done on the screen, and then allow the participant to do it independently. If your task is lengthy, you could choose to create a shorter version that concentrates on the main idea. (For instance, GPS location recording.)

Prior to continuing, be sure to confirm learning. Finishing a project, having them sync, and then showing the class the data are effective ways to accomplish this. This serves to confirm that the data do, in fact, travel somewhere and accomplish something. Keep in mind that knowledge transfer is only one half of the equation; confidence building is the other.

A decent rule of thumb is to avoid showing for longer than 10 minutes, either by walking through simulated jobs or presenting slides. It is best to divide issues into easily palatable chunks. To ensure that those who ran into difficulties are not left behind, it is a good idea to take a break after each one.

There will inevitably be students that are experienced or pick things up quickly. Spread them out to assist their friends who may be having trouble coming up with a win-win solution to prevent them from getting bored and getting ahead of the class.

It is crucial to control the classroom. Stay away from side conversations and diversions. Sensitive questions should be handled individually (especially if there are incentives involved) (ideally before the training).

While role acting is crucial, strive to boost student involvement as well. You can accomplish this by directly posing questions, dividing up into teams for field staff training competitions, or posing a scenario and having them instruct YOU on what to do as you proceed through the screens.

A wonderful time! The perfect quip at the proper time and an occasional amusing image can go a long way toward maintaining the mood and emphasising important ideas.
